It’s been already 20 years since Sundaville® started spreading love, happiness, and joy with its bright varieties, shapes, and colours. The world's first true Red Mandevilla / Dipladenia (Sundaville® Red) variety was introduced already 20 years ago. How incredible is it?! How far we have come together to create this success story. An achievement for which we are grateful to so many people.

From the beginning we believed in the uniqueness of our “Power Flower” Sundaville®, but thanks to the hard work and dedication of everyone involved in this story, Sundaville® has become the world's most famous one.

The centrepiece of a proud family

We create new markets instead of supplementing existing ones.

Sundaville® is the result of the work of multiple actors involved in the process of producing, disseminating and selling a high quality product like the first Red Mandevilla / Dipladenia. Sundaville® was born in a stimulating and innovative context that is the beating organ of the MNP / Suntory company. Here, the skilful Japanese art of breeding is combined with the wisdom and professionalism from the specialists of MNP in the Netherlands, who select and

test the best varieties to be offered to the market through a skilful and effective transformation of these into successful brands.

The successful story of Sundaville® joins the oldest one of the Surfinia® brand, but also the exciting one of Princettia®, Senetti®, MillionBells® and all the other names that make up the house of brands from MNP / Suntory.

At MNP / Suntory the main focus is breeding, selection and effective brand marketing. The central challenge is therefore to conquer the market with a small team of passionate professionals as effectively and originally as possible. And by being the first, a sophisticated marketing vision and a professional dealer network of healthy cuttings, passionate growers making ultimate quality finished plants and wide sales channels.

If you’re curious about how and when it all started, the next pages are right up your street!

Sundaville® is future proof!

Sustainable Sundaville® working on the future

As a breeder, MNP / Suntory is at the beginning of the chain. We are expected to continuously think ten steps ahead. The choices we make sometimes have an impact years later.

This applies to colours, trends and application, but also to sustainability and respect for people, nature and the environment. As pioneers, at MNP / Suntory we take our responsibility, now and in the future.

The modern consumer is looking for convenience and wants value for money. At the same time, the modern consumer is very aware of her surroundings and the impact we have on nature and the environment. These issues also play an important role when buying plants. People are looking for a product with a small footprint on the environment and want to know more about the origin of the product.

Sundaville® is the answer to all questions. She continues to grow and bloom well into autumn, without requiring too much attention. Heat, drought, storms and prolonged rain; Sundaville® is up against all weather conditions. In view of climate change, this is a welcome feature.

During the selection process of new Sundaville® varieties, we assess on many levels whether the variety is future proof. Here we look at the plant technical properties, but also disease resistance, water use and heat and cold resistance. Our requirements for a sustainable plant are continuously increased. Sustainability is never finished.

“Sundaville® wants to help people to create more green spaces for a sustainable planet.”

Sundaville® benefits:

FLAMINGO PINK

Sunpa 201 Ready to share:

During the selection process we collect a lot of data on the sustainable benefits of Sundaville®. This is not classified information! Instead, we plan to share them with all our partners (licensees, growers, exorters and (online) retailers), so everyone can profit equally.

Even less required care by consumers: focus on convenience and enjoyment! More resistant to rain; More resistant against diseases and plagues; Less use of chemicals during the complete cyclus; More resistant against heat and less watering; Stimulate the use of more sustainable labels, pots and packaging; Investment in growth on lower temperatures.

The strong roots of the power flower

It’s been already 20 years since Sundaville® started spreading love, joy & happiness around the world. Since then, Sundaville´® varieties become best sellers and an indispensable part of the floricultural market.

1986

‘Best of both worlds.’

The first visit to Suntory (Japan) and a look at what would later spark a revolution, the world's very first Petunia from cuttings. The rest is history… After this success, a contract was signed in 1989, which made Suntory Flowers Europe (Suntory and Moerheim) master licensee for EMEA till the present day.

1888

‘135 years of pioneering & guts.’

MNP / Suntory history goes back to (15 march) 1888, the year in which the first generation of the Ruys family started their own horticultural company "Royal Nursery Moerheim” in Dedemsvaart, the Netherlands…

1990

‘The revolution in floriculture.’ The official introduction of the first, most-famous and iconic Surfinia® Purple. From this point on Surfinia® (trailing) Petunias will be creating iconic images everywhere in Europe, hanging from bridges, lampposts, facades & balconies. The Petunia market will grow to a sales market of +/160 million plants per year in Europe alone.

1994

‘Gamechangers: seed versus cuttings.’

By introducing Petunias, Verbenas and other varieties only grown from cuttings, MNP / Suntory sets the tone and unleashes an unmatched revolution in floriculture. Where plants were always grown from seed, now almost all are grown from cuttings. As a result, clean starting material became the standard and quality continued to improve.

1999

“The ultimate spring flower.” With Senetti® we brought you the strongest early flowering (bedding) plant with the longest shelf life on the market. Its collection of bright colours and its garden performance is unmatched. It is a great alternative for the more fragile Viola, Pansy and Primula. Its re-blooming ability gives people even more value for money and happiness.

1995

‘Innovation after innovation.’ Introducing the world's first Calibrachoa called Million Bells® was another great milestone in floriculture. Today Calibrachoa is the market leader within (bedding) plants and responsible for sales of +/-180 million plants per year in Europe alone.

2009

‘Creating value for good.’

The birth of the one and only Princettia® brand. The first early flowering and compact (bright pink & all white) Euphorbia (Poinsettia). With its early flowering and bright colours we created new markets beyond the Christmas period and extended the existing sales window of Poinsettias.

2002

‘We are Mandevilla (Dipladenia).’

In 2002 “the plant pioneers” released another true revolution with Sundaville® Red, the first truly red Mandevilla. Ever since this day the market grew to big heights with now yearly over +/- 40 million plants sold within Europe. Sundaville® is still the market leader & world’s no.1 Mandevilla (Dipladenia) brand.

2011

‘Set a new benchmark in quality.’

With Surdiva® Scaevola, MNP / Suntory set the next benchmark in bedding plants when it comes to quality, innovation and heat tolerance. The big steps made in breeding make this “the bedding plant of the future”. With a deep knowledge of the market, you can “mark our words” on this.

2021

‘The plant pioneers.’

After more than 35 years of close cooperation, the merging of both company names (MNP / Suntory) came out to create a strong “house of brands” for the future. Through this new positioning, the company support the entire chain and connect supply & demand in order to grow and become even more relevant in the future, so MNP / Suntory can make consumers happy and the world a bit greener.

2019-2020

Big, bigger, biggest!

A new brand come to life and it was a big success from the beginning! Granvia® was new, fresh and giant with her coloured crunchy paper flowers! The same year it was introduced, Granvia® won the 1st prize during the IPM competition in the category of bedding & balcony plants.

Surfinia® 30th anniversary

In 2020 we had the honour to celebrate an amazing milestone with our beloved Surfinia® which celebrated 30 years! Through the Surfinia® brand, petunias were introduced into the European market and changed the city landscapes with their colourful flowers. We have been working hard on developing even stronger, more exhaustive long-lasting trailing Surfinia®.

2022

Sundaville® 20 years

Here comes our new big pride of the year, Sundaville® 20th anniversary has arrived after two difficult years due to Corona's situation. But right now we have a lot to celebrate with all the actors involved in this Mandavilla successful story. Sundaville® is beloved by consumers around Europe, that’s why we would them to enjoy all the varieties they already know, but also new ones, now available for propagators and growers: Sundaville® Flamingo Pink, Gold and Carmine XXL. You never get tired of Sundaville®!

Interview

JEROEN EGTBERTS

Managing Director MNP

SUNTORY FLOWERS LTD. &

YASUYUKI MURAKAMI

Executive General Manager of International Business Division

Best of both worlds

You don't reach a twenty-year anniversary overnight. It takes a lot of passion, guts and sometimes a bit of luck. Jeroen F. Egtberts (MNP) and Yasuyuki Murakami (Suntory) stood together at the cradle of the discovery and introduction of Sundaville®.

Best of both worlds, that is the collaboration between the Dutch company MNP and the Japanese company Suntory Flowers Ltd. Yasuyuki Murakami has worked for Suntory Flowers for almost 46 years and has a passion for plant breeding.

Jeroen F. Egtberts started 40 years ago at Moerheim, which later became (Moerheim New Plant) MNP. With his valuable knowledge and experience he introduced many unique products to the European market.

You both made a major contribution in the discovery of Sundaville, how did this happen?

Yasuyuki: Over 30 years ago, during our field trip in South America, we came across a Mandevilla, which was not known for in horticulture. It grew in trees and along high cliffs, not the easiest plant to discover. We started investigate about this special species with a local researcher. We quickly discovered that we could add some special potential to our breeding. Through much research, breeding and a bit of luck we invented the red Mandevilla.

Jeroen: During my annual visit to the greenhouses of Suntory Flowers in Japan in 1999, my eye fell on a greenhouse with ascending plants with beautifully colored flowers. What struck me most was the mandevilla with red flowers. I had never seen that before! I knew this was something unique, and therefore immediately asked Suntory Flowers if I could take a number of these cuttings to the Netherlands to further research. Fortunately, that was allowed. And it turned out that the red mandevilla did perfectly in the European climate.

And then?

Jeroen: The red flower was so unique, I immediately believed that this would be a great success. For a good introduction to the market and protection of the product, it was very important to establish a trademark. I suggested Sundaville, a combination of mandevilla and Suntory.

Yasuyuki: Breeding, crossing and selecting strength varieties takes a lot of time. We believed in the success of mandevilla from the

beginning, but of course it was great that the plant also did so well in the European climate. That certainly gave us confidence to put all our effort into discovering new varieties of Sundaville.

Jeroen:

“I immediately believed that this would be a great success.”

Jeroen: After the introduction of the red Sundaville, other varieties quickly followed in order to have a complete color palette. Sundaville started as a small product, but we have really set a trend and created innovation.We are very proud of this.

A collaboration between a Dutch and Japanese company sounds quite unique, how has this contributed to the success of Sundaville?

Jeroen: Suntory Flowers is strong in breeding and crossing and discovering new varieties or improvements. At MNP / Suntory we love pioneering, it gives us a kick to bring new products to the market and step outside the box.

Yasuyuki: The cooperation between our companies is very pleasant. It gives us the opportunity to test novelties on the European market. We get valuable feedback back, which allows us to create even better and more beautiful products. We bring out the best in each other because we keep challenging each other.

Yasuyuki: “There is still so much beauty to come.”

Jeroen: With the result that twenty years after the introduction of Sundaville we still continue to surprise with new colors, applications and shapes. We are far from finished!

What makes Sundaville so special?

Yasuyuki: Sundaville is the most rewarding plant I know. She continues to grow andbloom until the first frost. Because she requires little care, Sundaville is suitable for various climates. That is unique!

Jeroen: Consumers who have bought Sundaville, continue to buy the plant every year. They are surprised by the strength of the

product and become true Sundaville ambassadors. That's really nice to see and hear.

How do you see the future of Sundaville?

Yasuyuki: Very bright! We are still fully committed to discovering new varieties of Sundaville. There is still so much beauty to come.

Jeroen: The market for Sundaville is still growing, every year the demand and the popularity of the plant increases. Sundaville is going to have a wonderful future. On to the 40th anniversary!

The ongoing process

The breeding and selection is always an ongoing process. Every year we breed, test and select and introduce new varieties.

The breeding process is always an ongoing process. Every year we breed, test and select and introduce new varieties. With the experience we get out of this and the way the market evolves we go back to the breeding part with all the information, feedback and performances to

make our product each time the better, always trying to do the best work. Our work never stops, the challenge we have as a company is to make the work better every time and to make our product different and unique from the others.

Breeding strategy

Firstly a breeder draws the breeding strategy to create completely new genetics /varieties.

Pollination

Breeder and his team pollinate flowers in our greenhouse according to a breeder’s schedule.

Sowing seeds

Breeder collects seeds from seed pods, we sow the seeds in the appropriate season, usually in winter.

Smart scale propagation

For selected seedlings, breeders start small scale propagation and grow those to organize further selection works.

Seed pots

The genetic backgrounds of material is quite

After a few months, we find seed pods on pollinated plants, when succeeded. However, in many cases, the crossing is not successful and we find lots of unmatured pods beside. To improve the successful ratio of crossing, the breeder spent lots of effort to find what is key for success.

First selection

We see the first flower of seedling plants next summer. We start the first selection work for flowered seedlings. We have to spend lots of effort on these crossing and early selection works. So we use our three breeding stations in Japan, Vietnam and Australia, depending on purpose and season for this kind of work.

Tissue culture

Also, the propagators initiate a tissue culture line to establish an elite material of each selected plant. Such works are usually repeated several times, and spend a few years. So we easily spend about five years or more to select a desirable variety from pollination! And a desirable variety could be selected from thousands of seedlings.

Cultivation specialist

“I check all our plants every day extensively”

"I have been working in the MNP / Suntory nursery for 16 years. That means that I have taken care of thousands of plants, selected hundreds of varieties and experienced dozens of product introductions. No day is the same and that is what makes my job so enjoyable. An important part of my job is taking care of Sundaville® and the selection process of new varieties. Sundaville® has been around since I worked at MNP / Suntory, so I have experienced the entire development and growth of the product."

Everything by feeling "I work entirely on the basis of feeling and experience. Every day I make a round through the nursery and look at and assess each plant. Which plant needs water, should we use biological control agents? There is no manual for this, everything we do is based on our passion to make the best products. It gives a kick every time we select new special varieties and bring them to the market together."

My favorite variety “Sundaville® Red”

PAMELA VAN DAATSELAAR

ERWIN GIEZEN

Head of marketing, communications & trade

“Sundaville® is the strongest brand within the mandevilla/dipladenia family.”

"From my role as Head of marketing, communications & trade, I am most proud of our Sundaville® brand. In twenty years, the brand has developed from a special plant to the no.1 brand in Mandevilla. Sundaville® has become a consumer brand, which is recognizable by retailers all across Europe. Also online, we are working hard on the road. Sundaville® has over 10,000 followers on Instagram and since last year a online platform for consumers. Because the genetics of Sundaville® continue to develop, the communication around the brand also continues to develop. It's cool to be in charge of that.

Ready for the future

"Sundaville® is the patio plant of the future. Every consumer can take care of a Sundaville®, even if you have no green thumb. She continues to bloom and grow well into autumn and needs very little water. I see the future for Sundaville® very positive. There are good and ambitious growers who will put the product on the map.

I also have much admiration for Beauty Plants, which has a well-run consumer webshop for years, mandevillashop.com. These collaborations, in combination with our special genetics, ensure that Sundaville® has a bright future!"

My favorite variety

“Sundaville® Flamingo Pink”

KLAAS DROOG

Sales & license manager

“I like to surprise our customers with new varieties.”

"In my role as Sales & License Manager, I am in contact with all the propagators and breeders of Sundaville®. It is my job to keep them informed of developments in genetics and to introduce new varieties to them. I find this one of the most enjoyable things about my job. Because of the many discussions with growers, I have a good idea of the market and specific customer needs. It is very cool to see that we can respond so well to this with Sundaville."

Continue to develop

"When we had the first Sundaville® genetics in our hands twenty years ago, we knew immediately that it was something special. A compact, red Mandevilla: that was really something new. Since then, the range has continued to develop and in twenty years, a beautiful brand has emerged. MNP / Suntory is still the market leader in Mandevilla®. That's because we keep innovating and surprising. We add new varieties, shapes and colours, and we are far from finished. In recent years, there has been a lot of competition in the market. That is not a bad thing; it is how we keep each other on our toes. I am curious what the future will bring us, I have every faith in it!"

My favorite variety Sundaville® Red

WILLEM MULDER

“Sundaville® is embraced by growers from all over Europe.”

"Every year, hundreds of thousands of consumers buy a beautiful Sundaville® in a garden centre near them. These plants are grown with love and passion by growers from all over Europe, but also from North Africa and the Middle East. At MNP / Suntory, I keep track of which growers are involved and process this in our system. I do this for our entire range, which is quite an administration.”

Protection of unique genetics

"MNP / Suntory has a wide range of unique bedding plants, which we protect by means of licences. This protection is important because it enables us to keep track of where our products are grown. We also use the licences to develop and promote our power brands. Sundaville® is one of our biggest brands and now consists of dozens of varieties. These are all protected in our licensing system."

Beauty collection stands for lovely colours and vigorous branching. The Sundaville® Beauty collection is a range of perfectly branched Mandevilla / Dipladenia variety that produces beautiful large flowers and can be grown in 10-13 pots and hanging baskets.

Every collection has its own details and what characterized the Beauty one is diversity: in fact, it has two different varieties, the early bloomers and the later ones. Growing both of them, you can cover the entire spring and summer market.

Beauty White

“Elegance in white.”

If you are looking for a perfect ornment for your white theme party, the Sundaville® Beauty White is what you are looking for. Her flowers convey freshness and cleanliness, donating an elegant atmosphere even at late night. Her lushly growing flowers reach an average height without any support due to her attitude to climb.

Beauty Rose

“Rose is the dress code.”

Keep patience and a big pot to get prepared for this beauty: Sundaville® Beauty Rose takes some time to show her kindness but waiting for her blooming definitely worth it. She grows vigorous with high branches and big pink flowers 7 cm big, coloured soft pink with an orange heart. A late-blooming for an outstanding exhibition!

Beauty Bright Red

"Bright & shine."

Large flowers and a high personality, that's what defines Sundaville® Beauty Bright Red. Her name does not lie, her brilliance will conquer every space available on your patio and will make you travel to an exotic destination.

Sundaville® Beuty Bright Red has a medium blooming, with high branching and vigorous body. Let her shine and bright all summer long.

Beauty Vermillion

“Passion & pride.”

Imagine yourself on a summer evening dancing a passionate tango on a beach, around you the pyramids of Sundaville® Beauty Vermillion give a passionate and elegant atmosphere. This variety grows vigorous with high branches and more than one bloom per stem. The flowers are a little long in coming, but once they bloom the show is guaranteed!

Grand

Think really big

“Every family needs a big sister to watch back to the littles.” Large flowers and tropical appeal make consumers go wow in front of the Sundaville® Grand range. This collection is a series of Mandevilla / Dipladenia hybrids perfect to be grown on a trellis and in 12 cm pots or hanging baskets. They will design the perfect landscape for your projects conferring a tropical atmosphere.

Grand White

"The new eye-catching."

Big, white and intense. These are the main characteristics of the Sundaville® Grand Big White, with her intense white large flowers will capture your attention and she will surprise you by getting bigger and bigger day after day.

Grand Big White is the perfect ornamental plant to being put at the entrance of big palaces or infrastructures to catch everybody attention and welcome people in.

Grand Rose

"Happy Pinkie mood."

Sundaville® Grand Rose looks like an endless summer spent in Greece. She is an early-flowering beauty rich in large flowers coloured with an intense pink so eye-catching. The high contrast of the pink flowers with the deep green of leaves makes the plant even more astonishing.

Grand Red

"Gentle & longlasting."

This red variety will make you wait a little longer than the others to see the result of your work… but the show will be worth the wait! Her red flowers are very large and therefore visible from afar. The Grand Red is a plant that needs a little bit of maintenance in the growing phase, but once the flowers have bloomed, you will just have to watch it glow bright red all day long.

Cultivation information

Sundaville® Mandevilla makes an ideal conservatory and outdoor summer patio plant.

Sundaville® varieties can be planted in tubs, window boxes or hanging baskets.

Mandevilla is the name of a genus which is also known as Dipladenia. It stands for a climbing plant which is classified as a tender perennial, so it will require frost protection in temperate climates.

Mandevilla are native to Central and South America and are tolerant to heat as well as cool northern European conditions.

Growing instructions - plant care

After purchasing your plug plants, carefully remove any packaging and allow the plants to acclimatise for 24 hours by placing them in a light position but out of direct sunlight. Check whether they need watering. They are likely to need some water before potting (never pot up a dry plant). You can water from underneath the plant or overhead, but ensure that the whole root ball is moist. After 24 hours, transfer the plant into a 9 – 10 cm pot (maximum size), using any universal or standard potting mix. Avoid loam-based compost as the mix needs to be free draining. First, fill the pot with compost to the top. Then, make a hole in the centre with your fingers and insert the plug. The top of the plug needs to be at the same level as the top of the compost. Don’t bury parts of the stem or foliage as they may rot.

Water plants thoroughly after potting, then place them in a nice bright position – window, conservatory, greenhouse, etc. Allow the root ball to dry out between watering for the first 2-3 weeks. They can be kept moister once the roots have run to the edge of the pot. Feed after 2-3 weeks with a standard feed, such as Baby Bio®, Phostrogen, etc. After about 7-10 weeks transfer the plant into a larger pot.

Potting on

Always pot on into a pot which is up to 5 cm larger than the previous one. This is usually necessary once a year, in the spring. Use a free-draining potting compost. You can add a slow-release fertiliser such as Osmocote® to provide long-lasting feed levels. We recommend that Sundaville® is kept in a container as this allows you to move the plant indoors for protection against severe weath- er and low temperatures. After potting on the plant will need a support system, either bamboo canes or a trellis of some type - all of which will be available from your local garden centre - or you can opt for a trailing habit by using a hanging basket. Again, ensure that the plant is moist before potting on. Water immediately after potting on, then allow to dry out between watering for the first 2-3 weeks.

Position

Sundaville® plants can be grown in full sun or partial shade. When grown indoors, they will thrive if they are given as much natural light as possible. Light levels are important to repeat

flowering in the following year. In the United Kingdom for example, the plants will flower until Christmas if they are given the correct indoor conditions. If your plant is outside, please bring it indoors before the first frosts and place in a well lit, frost-free area. A heated greenhouse, protected porch, or conservatory (cold or heated) is ideal.

Height control

If you want to control the height of your Sundaville® plants, pinching them to acquire the correct shape is recommended. Be aware that if you pinch hard at every shoot you will remove the flower buds which appear at the leaf joints at approx. every 2-5 pairs of leaves. Always identify the flower buds first before pinching! To support the climbing shoots, you can train them up a trellis or similar support system.

Watering & winter care

Sundaville® plants are tolerant of wet or dry conditions in the summer and can safely go without water for a week or more if necessary. Regular watering in the summer, allowing the root ball to dry out between watering, is ideal. Feed at least once a week with tomato feed, for example, if you have not added a slow-release fertiliser to the compost. It’s really important to avoid overwatering! From early November onwards, dry the root ball out completely, especially if it is being overwintered in a cold environment. Water lightly about once a month until the weather and light conditions improve in the spring, around late February to early March. By then, the compost should be so dry that it appears dusty. Plants overwintered this way very rarely wilt. Move your Sundaville® plants outside as soon as the danger of frost has passed. Make sure to harden the plants off and gradually adapt them to a full sunny spot either on your terrace, balcony or patio. Pot on into a larger container if required.

What the proffessionals say about Sundaville®!

Sundaville® ‘Brings you happiness’ and we do not do this alone. Sundaville® has been a success for twenty years, partly because we work with different partners. We call them our ambassadors. What makes Sundaville so special for them?

"The cooperation between Florensis and MNP / Suntory is unique and very valuable for both companies. We sell Sundaville® to growers all over Europe. The branding of Sundaville® matches perfectly with the sunny and cheerful look of the product. It gives the product just that little bit extra. In collaboration with MNP / Suntory, we created last year an own label within the existing Sundaville® branding. With this, we give our growers a little extra service. In this way, we give the product extra value in the chain and we ensure recognition among consumers.

Sunny future

"The Mandevilla product has a bright future ahead of it. A 20th anniversary is a great milestone, but the product has much more potential. From Florensis, we hope to continue working with Sundaville® for many years to come. The product continues to develop, more and more new varieties are added so that it continues to surprise. Sundaville® fits into any climate and needs little care. These are requirements that future-proof plants must meet. Sundaville® has it all!

MARJOLEIN KUYUCU-LODDER

International Product Marketeer

"In 2016 we started growing Sundaville. At the time we were looking for a product that we could grow in the spring and a product that was not too easy to grow. Sundaville fits our company perfectly, we are very happy that we have chosen this product. We have also very consciously chosen the mandevillas from Sundaville. Beautiful colours, beautiful collections and in MNP / Suntory we quickly found a pleasant cooperation partner. We test varieties, use the cultivation advice and of course the marketing and promotion around the brand Sundaville®. Last year we introduced Sundaville® Flamingo Pink together. A real hit! "

Considerable fan base

"The popularity of Sundaville® is growing every year. Tim, Nol and Stef notice that sales through their own webshop 'Mandevillashop.com'. Here they sell their complete range of Sundaville® directly to European consumers. Many customers come back to Mandevillashop every year because their purchases are so good. "On our platform we also offer care tips and inspiration, which gives the consumer extra confidence." Through the webshop, Beautyplant gets a lot of insight into the consumer behaviour around Sundaville®. "It's really nice to see what species are doing well and what the consumer needs. The webshop is growing every year and we owe that in part to the success of Sundaville®."

“As Category Manager at GRS Retail, I have a lot of insight into the needs of the Dutch and Belgian garden centre market. We buy plants for 150 different garden centres and it is important that we always keep the consumer's wishes in mind. The consumer of today is often looking for a beautiful visual product, but also looks at how the plant should be cared for. Sundaville® has the combination of both qualities and is, therefore, a very important spring product for GRS Retail.”

Essential product

“In recent years, Sundaville® has become an indispensable product for garden centres. Sundaville® is often used by garden centres as a promotional item to attract consumers to the shop. The Sundaville® brand has become a household name, both among retailers and consumers. They no longer ask for Mandevilla, but specifically Sundaville®. Through the many positive experiences and proven quality, the demand continues to grow every season. Sundaville® is a must-have for the shop floor!”
