In June of last year, Selecta One secured supply of its dianthus and pot carnation varieties directly from its offshore Selecta Kenya farm for U.S. customers. As the only offshore dianthus production farm approved by the USDA, this announcement was designed to provide an efficient product source for quality cuttings for a plant class experiencing positive growth in the North American marketplace.

Now, to assist growers with choosing the dianthus and pot carnation products that are region-appropriate and suitable for their greenhouse growing conditions, the Selecta One North America team has launched the new Dianthus & Carnations Selection Tool alongside a helpful scheduling guide for online interactive use as well as a downloadable PDF resource.

To showcase the latest dianthus and pot carnation products and online tools, a new section of the Selecta One North America website has also been designed specifically for this product class. SelectaNorthAmerica.com/Dianthus offers a colorful view of the full product assortment, a retail support showcase, and access to the interactive product selection tools and scheduling resources.

“Quality cuttings are making their way directly to U.S. customers now, and more growers can take advantage of this excellent availability to build their markets,” says Leland Toering, Sales Manager for Selecta One North America. “Our new product selection tool and online showcase makes it even easier to choose among the wide array of Selecta One dianthus and pot carnations to meet greenhouse scheduling and environmental conditions.”
