Without flowering plants, the world would be a totally different place. Many of the flowers available in garden centres and other outlets across the UK include Syngenta breeding technology and our seed technologists are helping to delight senses across the globe with a vast array of beautiful ornamental flowers.
Syngenta dedicates considerable efforts to decorative flowers. Our Seeds business provides a vast choice through its 'S&G' Flowers brand. Each year, a wealth of new varieties join the range.
Syngenta flowers are planted around homes, in gardens and public parks across the world. Syngenta Crop Protection also helps the world's large and expanding gardening industry. Commercial growers choose the company's appropriate insecticides, fungicides or herbicides to protect cut flowers, pot plants and ornamentals from destructive pests, weeds and diseases.
Breeding new flowers involves much more than just "nice colour". Commercial growers, retailers and consumers also demand other features. For example, flowers need to bloom in a reliable timeframe, transport well and give gardeners a rewarding experience. Breadth of choice is also crucial. As well as a whole rainbow of colours, gardeners also want a spread of flowering times and varieties that will thrive in numerous different settings.
So whether it's Valentine's Day, a wedding or an afternoon in the park flowers incorporating Syngenta know-how are helping to brighten everyone's life.
