WHY IT IS
SIMPLY
THE BEST
Surfinia
Surfinia® was the first trailing (hanging) Petunia brand on the market. Surfinia® Petunias are grown from cuttings and are perfectly trailing and rain resistant. A real breakthrough! Introduced in the nineties and still the top of the bill. But Surfinia® is much more nowadays.
The spectacular trailing habit of Surfinia® Petunia is unique and much bigger than the regular size of trailing plants. This is what makes Surfinia® still the best and most widely sold Petunia in the world, for almost 30 years and counting.
Another characteristic of Surfinia® is that it is resistant to rain, a major advantage over the more sensitive seed Petunia. The success of Surfinia® spreads rapidly across the continents. In Europe, the best-specialized companies took on the task of producing Surfinia® material of the highest quality and guaranteeing the level. It is certainly worthwhile for the user to purchase only Surfinia®’s of original quality. Only then you can be assured that your balcony, your flowerbed or flower dish will become the shining star of the neighborhood.

The true
Story behind
No.1 Petunia
With Surfinia® you opt for the undoubtedly most beautiful new cultivation of bedding and balcony plants that our time has produced.
History
We owe the origin of the Surfinia®’s to chance rather than to targeted planning. The Japanese scientist Dr. Sagazaki was responsible for a viticulture project for the Suntory® company in southern Brazil. He noticed an exceptionally strong wild-Petunia species with beautifully coloured flowers along the edges of the fields. In the Suntory® laboratories Dr. Sagazaki opt to improve the original material of the wild plant. Thanks to complex bio-technical methods, it was indeed possible to grow new varieties that shaded all comparable species. Nature surpassed itself! The new Surfinia®’s turned out to be fantastic growers who achieved the tenfold volume of traditional Petunias. The first colour was purplish with fascinating light intensity, then the colour spectrum could be expanded with new shades.
Surfinia or Petunia
Often people ask what the difference is between Surfinia® and Petunia. Well: Surfinia® is a famous Petunia brand (registered trademark) created by Suntory Flowers Ltd. (Japan) and introduced onto the European market by MNP (The Netherlands). Lots of regular Petunias these days are being sold under the name of Surfinia®. Chances are that these plants won’t give you the same results that an original Surfinia® will give you. There are 6 good reasons to buy a real Surfinia® Petunia.
