IN THE NEWS: Dianthus Cut Flower Highlight in GPN Magazine

In the September issue of Greenhouse Product News (GPN magazine), or very own Jose Sanchez, Ball Seed regional business manager, was a featured contributor with a highlight on Dianthus barbatus Kiwi Mellow Cool. This Selecta One cut flower variety retains its "cool" appeal with floral designers from coast to coast, north and south, with its fuzzy green texture and long, strong stem.

In his article, beyond production tips to help you grow and sell successfully, Jose shares how the Ball Seed cut flower team partners with a vast range of breeders to bring our customers the varieties they need to make an impact in their markets. He also showcases the increased access to Dianthus supply through the USDA approval of the Selecta One Kenya production farm. This means more Kiwi Mellow Cool for growers!
