<p>Seed breeding breakthroughs at IPM Essen from PanAmerican Seed</p>

During IPM Essen, PanAmerican Seed not only introduced a colourful, fresh and media savvy stand to the industry, but several new introductions as well which raised eyebrows and brought a great deal of interest to the company with over 2,500 different seed products.

French Marigold was strong in presence at the IPM and especially notable was the introduction of Fireball French Marigold. Sales manager Jean-François Ignasse, sales manager of PanAmerican Seed, outlined this product: “Fireball is a new product that consumers will see in the shops this season. The uniqueness about this product is that as the flowers age, they develop into different colours. Each flower starts out a deep red colour and then turns into tangerine, orange or fire colours – all on the same plant. This is the first of its’ kind in the world, a true breeding breakthrough in French Marigolds.”

Kirigami Ornamental Oregano
Furthermore, a new product from PanAmerican Seed for 2018 introduction is Kirigami. Kirigami is an Ornamental Oregano which is appealing to different sorts of situations due to the oregano smelling leaves and subtle purple/rose flowers. Compared to existing products, Kirigami is unique for the fact that is has more rose/purple shaded leaves.
