DUCRETTET, partner in the french breeding program on F1 hybrids

1 mars 2011

DUCRETTET, established since 1927, started recently its co-operation in the french research team for F1 hybrids flowers : MELBA. This start-up company, based in Angers (France) is acting with a strong background and a long experience in the flower breeding.

Out of this research activity, we can already offer you :

• Two series of pansies, BIG’UP and PRIM’UP, recognised for their earliness and great strength for flowering in the short days of autumn and winter.
• Forget-me-not (Myosotis), SAVOIE,
• Wallflower (Erysimum), GOLD’CUP

For all of these biannuals, our research work was to bring well flowered plants from the fvery beginning of Autumn.  These flowers being able to maintain a good presentation during all Winter and an excellent power from the first Spring days onwards. We, and you, can assure a flowering time of six months. We have a good answer for the six more difficult months to find flowers : the decreasing light of Autumn, the short days of Winter and the magic first weeks of Spring. Then, for all the summer season, there are plenty of other easy to grow annuals !.  

We continue to work in this spirit.

 

A large choice of pansies PRIM’UP

The pansies PRIM’UP have a good hability to flower during short days. The plant habit is compact and well branched. They are vigourous and ideal for the grower as for the gardener after plantation. There are 22 colors available now and 10 different mixes creating so nice displays!

 

The pansies BIG’UP are ideal for early series or for hot climates

With a similar and good flowering earliness, these pansies have extra large flowers. They are vigourous.

 

The myosotis SAVOIE is flowering from autumn to spring

We created a myosotis that does not need cold to have its flowers. The result is this myosotis SAVOIE.

Under the European or american conditions, with sowings mid july, there are flowers from October until april.

SAVOIE will remind you of the blue sky of the French Alps for 6 months!

The wallflower GOLD’CUP creates a wall of flowers!!

In the same spirit as SAVOIE, we created this wallflower GOLD CUP with abundant flowers during six months.

This very winter hardy variety will be covered of scented flowers from the first spring sun rays.

Compact and well branched habit.
