New petunia developed by Dümmen Orange
Added on 24 August 2020
The petunia displays a one-of-a-kind yellow color on super blooms and offers excellent garden performance. Royalty revenues generated by sales will be donated to Yellowstone Forever.
Yellowstone Forever is a certified 4-star and Best in America Charity. The nonprofit partners with Yellowstone National Park to create opportunities for all people to experience, enhance, and preserve this historic American treasure forever. Its mission of engagement and support through education and fundraising will ensure that Yellowstone remains vital and awe-inspiring for generations.
"This collaboration allows both of our organizations to share our passion for nature and all its beauty, now and in the future," says Rebecca Lusk, Retail Director for Dümmen NA, Inc.
"We are excited to partner with Dümmen NA, Inc.," says Edna Johnson, Acting President and CEO of Yellowstone Forever, "and we are grateful for their support of the world's first national park."
An essential component of the co-branding initiative is a fresh new container design. It features a stylized geyser erupting from a mound of 'Yellowstone Forever' petunias, with a backdrop of mountains, all designed in an attractive green color.
Growers can receive cuttings for this new petunia hybrid starting Week 40, 2020. Consumers will be able to buy flowering plants at Lowe's, and select independent garden centers in the spring of 2021.
