Scabiosa Virtuoso® Saura now exclusively available at Marginpar

Scabiosa Virtuoso® Saura, developed by breeding company HilverdaFlorist, is now available at grower Marginpar. After signing an exclusive licensing agreement for the production in Africa in July last year, the first flowers will soon be harvested from Marginpar’s fields in Kenya. From this moment on, the colourful masterpiece Saura will be available to florists year-round.

Marginpar is constantly looking for exceptional flowers to make a difference. By collaborating with various breeders, the company offers the most complete range possible for florists. After careful selection, Saura, bred by HilverdaFlorist is one of the latest additions to the range.

Propagation and production of young planting material for this variety is done by Murara Plants Kenya, subsidiary of HilverdaFlorist. Murara Plants is a leading specialist in the African market for cut flowers as well as potted and garden plants. “We are extremely proud and grateful for this partnership and look forward to making it flourish even more in the future,” says Eric Bouman, Managing Director Murara Plants Kenya.

About Scabiosa Virtuoso^®

Saura is part of the recently rebranded Virtuoso® Series. “Each flower is a living masterpiece, named after a famous artist.” This variety is a long-lasting, fascinating flower that adds exactly the desired depth and texture you’re looking for. They gradually open until they reach their full size. Its name is in honour of Antonio Saura, a Spanish painter. Fittingly, he was known for his colourful work, full of texture, and often abstract.

HilverdaFlorist & Marginpar

Marginpar and HilverdaFlorist have a long-standing relationship, with several HilverdaFlorist varieties already part of the Marginpar range. This collaboration, originally started with the Limonium Diamond series, is now further strengthened with the addition of Scabiosa Virtuosa® Saura. Both parties look forward to continuing this thriving collaboration.
