Poinsettia highligts

Highlights of Poinsettia from Dümmen Orange 2020

The extraordinary

Autumn leaves

A very modern color, which suits every décor. Due to its earliness it can be used perfectly as a season opener, and brings the beauty of Autumn into our living rooms. With a good shelf life and excellent transportation Autumn Leaves arrives with the consumer still looking strong, healthy and eyecatching. 
The combination of Low PGR requirements and our Greenguard Integrated Pest Management on the farm, hits the current development in our Industry.

 

Freya

An extraordinarily intense red color, and is very suitable for growing in high volumes. It has a V-shaped structure, and allows cultivators to produce more plants per square meter with the same number of visible bracts compared to other varieties. Due to the V-shaped structure, putting them into sleeves is much easier, which can save packing time.

Freya is therefore a very economical variety and sustainable in production, with less resource consumption.

Dümmen Orange has restructured its poinsettia production to one large mother stock location, so that we can make sure that all cuttings meet same high production and environmental standards.

Green Guard

We rely on the intensive use of beneficials to reduce chemical load to a minimum. We use them to control thrips and whitefly, for example. Our mother plants are resilient and the quality of the cuttings is outstanding.

 

Fairtrade

All our poinsettia cuttings carry the Fairtrade label, which imposes strict environmental standards. We comply all Fairtrade production rules, which range from hygiene to dealing with waste water. The share of the profit that must be used to benefit the employees at the production location is currently used to finance a subsidised food shop for the employees.
