The Hibiscus Werk Groep presents two new hibiscus varieties: Bilbao and Palermo. “These two varieties perform outstanding under South-European climate conditions.” Bilbao and Palermo will be commercially available in 2024.
“Bilbao has soft white flowers with a red/pink, almost fluorescent heart that attracts the eye. The plant branches well and has dark leaves. Bilbao produces a lot of buds per branch that flower lavishly abundant and for a long time. Bilbao is suitable for cultivation under Southern European climate conditions. The end product is available. Plants are supplied in 14 cm pots, grown from one cutting. Bilbao produces sufficient branches for small pots after one round of pinching. For bigger pots like 19 or 23 cm, a second round of pinching will do.”
“Palermo has bright pink flowers with a soft-toned flower heart and dark green leaves. The plant branches well and shows a lot of buds per branch. The shelf life is excellent. Palermo performs very well under South-European climate conditions.”
Like the previously mentioned Bilbao, Palermo is supplied in a 14 cm pot, grown from one cutting. For bigger pots like 19 or 23 cm, a second round of pinching will do the job. They will introduce Palermo in 2024.
Sunny Cities is a brand from the Hibiscus Werk Groep. This group consists of three Dutch Hibiscus producers, the Dutch breeding company Agriom, and young plant producer Piante Keicher in Italy. “Our most recent selection program focuses on the development of varieties that can be grown under South-European climate conditions. Previously, we introduced Amalfi, Verona, Lucca, Sabaudia, and Sorrento, among others.”
