For many years, Syngenta Flowers has worked hard on interspecific breeding and has developed many innovative products. The company has extensive experience in the use of this intelligent technology for breeding. Calliope and Sunfinity are two great examples that offer consumers a unique product experience.
Interspecific breeding means crossing the species, allowing you to combine the strengths of different plants. To do this, Syngenta Flowers uses advanced techniques to help this natural process.
“What we are doing, in particular, is introducing new forms of flowers, plant forms and colors that amaze the consumer,” said Jost Kos, director of research and development.

Head of Research and Development at Flowers Yost Kos is very proud of Sunfinity. Kos: "Sunfinity is a truly unique plant. Thanks to interspecific crossing, this plant with several flower stems continues to give new flowers.
What else do you want, new flowers all over again, all summer? It looks good in a pot, and in the soil it turns into a beautiful bush. In countries such as China and Japan, you see whole fields full of sunshine, where landscape design is a trend. Imagine such a bright yellow corner in your garden! " 
Peter Van Os from Naldwijk (Netherlands) can confirm the success of new flowers. In a greenhouse with an area of 4.5 hectares, he stands between compact plants of Moksi geranium in a pot of 10.5 cm and points to them. "Look at these colors! This is real customer value.
A new generation of geraniums with a full range of bright flowers and plants that produce non-withering flowers during the summer and until autumn. The plant is unpretentious and gives an incredible number of flowers. I dare say that it gives twice as many flowers as regular geraniums. "

"Kariboe is a bell that produces a different type of flower, blooms even longer and can withstand temperature changes. Very comfortable in our capricious climate and with this beautiful purple color. I am full of enthusiasm and expect a lot from this," says Peter.
