Senetti Offers Cool Colors for the Cool Season
THRIVING in cool temperatures, Senetti is the perfect plant to launch your spring season. Vivid blues, reds, magentas and purples provide electric color. Senetti season begins in January in the South, as a winter crop, and in late March further North. Plants can withstand temperatures down to 35°F.
The main Senetti series spans 17 colors and there are four compact Baby Senetti.
We have published a new chart in our Suntory Flowers catalog that sorts Senetti varieties by vigor and earliness to flower. https://online.flippingbook.com/view/1047998325/32/
NEW FOR 2024
Be among the first to offer two new colors – Red Halo and Lavender Dawn. Both have medium vigor. Newer Senetti varieties are bred to be more compact with more flower coverage.
Senetti Red Halo features red daisy flowers with a striking white bullseye ring around the center. Southern growers and retailers could position as Valentine’s Day promotions. SENETTI® Red Halo – Suntory Flowers
Senetti Lavender Dawn is similar to Magic Salmon with colors that start out more periwinkle purple and lighten with a pink center as blooms age. Overall plant habit and performance is better than Magic Salmon. Plants are more compact and loaded with smaller blooms. Nice item for Easter sales in the North. SENETTI® Lavender Dawn – Suntory Flowers
Senetti Blue Bicolor Improved – Top seller gets an upgrade. Plants are more compact and floriferous and will need less growth regulator. Growers will welcome better plant performance from cutting to finished pot. SENETTI® Blue Bicolor Improved – Suntory Flowers
DYNAMIC DUOS
Take your early season color to the next level with Suntory Mixers featuring vibrant Senetti pericallis. Suntory Mixers are a line of combo cuttings kits. This is our third season offering Suntory Mixers for Senetti. It just so happens the top sellers mix nicely together in combinations.
Bicolor Blitz mixes Senetti Blue Bicolor and Magenta Bicolor. Plant two liners of each in a large patio pot. If you’re already growing Senetti, this is a natural next step and an opportunity to command a premium. These two bicolors are by far the top sellers in the Senetti line. SENETTI® Bicolor Blitz Mix – Suntory Flowers
Senetti’s solid colors can be just as intense. Neon Nites mixes Magenta and Deep Blue. Plant two liners of each in a large patio pot. Set these on endcaps and you’ll stop shoppers in their tracks! SENETTI® Neon Nites Mix – Suntory Flowers
One advantage to purchasing the combo kits is bundled royalty pricing. With Suntory Mixers, the price is 3 royalties instead of 4, a 25% savings on the royalty portion of the price. Two farms offering Suntory Mixers featuring Senetti are Kientzler North America in Costa Rica and Vivero Internacional in Mexico.
If there ever was a crop we’d recommend an early booking, it’s Senetti. Top sellers sell out quickly for peak weeks. For this reason, major producers pounce. We continue to expand supply and sources. Unrooted sources for Senetti include Kientzler, Vivero, Cohen, Selecta, Quality Cuttings and Beekenkamp.
