Sakata Seed America recently announced an expanded partnership with P. Allen Smith to create the P. Allen Smith Home Grown Flower Collection, including an assortment of cut flower varieties bred exclusively by Sakata. The new collection augments the already established P. Allen Smith Home Grown Seed Collection, which is 25 of Sakata’s most garden-friendly vegetables. In addition, P. Allen endorses SunPatiens to his audience.
“I’ve handpicked these cut flower varieties because they are proven performers that give a great show with bountiful blooms and vibrant colors,” P. Allen says. “Home gardeners can fill their flower beds with the many varieties or add them to the vegetable garden to attract pollinators and add floral interest.”
“We have witnessed the exposure Allen has brought to gardening and healthy eating, and specifically to SunPatiens and our vegetable collection,” notes Alecia Troy, Sakata’s senior marketing manager. “This is an exciting next step in our journey to connect with consumers through education and passion, and introduce them to an innovative collection of garden-friendly cut flowers.”
