Freesia flowertrials planted on 1st December 2018
7 December 2018. A series of more than 70 different freesia genotypes was planted in week 48 for comparison and assessment. In addition to about 25 existing varieties, various new selections are included in almost every conceivable color range. Strict selection criteria are used: in addition to the economically important parameters such as production per plant and per square meter and average stem weight, consumer value characteristics such as vase life, flowering and scent will be more decisive than before in the final choices.
From the end of March, these trials can be visited where colleagues can form their own opinion about the future assortment.
