Flowering without vernalization – flexible planning, year-round production

A key characteristic of all Sweet™ cultivars, including Sweet™ Pink, is the lack of vernalization. The plants flower in their first year without needing a cold period. This allows for year-round cultivation, fully tailored to market demand.

This advantage is particularly valuable for professional growers who like to cater to seasonal events like Mother's Day, Valentine's Day, weddings, and summer markets—but also need continuity during slow periods. The Sweet™ series delivers predictable, uniform production that easily integrates into any business model.

Fresh and bright pink – a color that sells

Sweet™ Pink stands out for its vibrant, pure pink color, a shade that is both modern and timeless. The flowers are:

• Large and elegantly shaped,

• Lightly scented,

• Brightly colored with excellent color fastness,

• Perfect as a filler and soft accent flower.

Pink is one of the most sought-after colors in the cut flower market, making Sweet™ Pink a true bestseller. Whether it's romantic bouquets, cheerful seasonal arrangements, or pastel combinations, this variety fits seamlessly into any setting.

Uniform growth and strong stems – designed for professional cultivation

Uniformity is one of the characteristics that makes the Sweet™ series so popular. Sweet™ Pink grows with:

• Strong, straight stems of equal length,

• Large, consistent flower clusters,

• An excellent shopping and vase life,

• A high percentage of saleable stems per m².

The sturdy stems make handling more efficient and ensure the flowers perform excellently during transport and in-store presentation. This makes Sweet™ Pink a top choice for larger flower companies and export-oriented growers.

Growing conditions and planting density

For optimal production, a planting density of 42 to 64 plants per m² (4 to 6 plants per square foot) is recommended. Sweet™ Pink grows well in:

• Greenhouses – ideal for year-round, controlled production

• Foil tunnels – strong performance in spring and autumn

• Open-field cultivation – in mild conditions

Growers who want to achieve the highest stem quality are advised to transplant young plants into the greenhouse in the fall. These early-planted specimens develop a strong root system and produce more and longer stems in the spring.
