Maximize your profits with Jaguar™, Cartwheel™ and Elephant™ gerbera
from Syngenta Flowers. These three grower-friendly series are showstoppers
at retail with unique flowers, sizes and bold colors. Easy production, high retail
marketability and built-in value for customers ensure growers will get the most
bang for their buck with these profitable seed annuals. Additionally, gerbera seed
is now available with a film coat for convenience.
Cartwheel features very large,
semi-double flowers that capture
immediate attention at retail. Bold,
rich colors that continually bloom
add depth to seasonal displays and retail-ready planters. The unique
variations and shades of the large, four-inch blooms within each variety
add a sense of novelty and value that few other gerbera can.
Syngenta Flowers is the industry leader for innovative, best-in-class varieties that
growers trust. Syngenta offers world-class technical support and plant protection
solutions for a holistic approach to growers’ businesses.
Jaguar
CARTWHEEL
With a vigorous plant habit, Cartwheel is well-suited for five-inch and
larger premium pot programs year-round. Tidier, well-proportioned
plants with better flower power than other series stand out as the
leader in premium gerbera. Since Cartwheel can be sold in grower
pots or large premium containers, it has the ability to drive value at
multiple price points.
Growers will appreciate the simplified production and planning that
Cartwheel offers, making it more cost-effective for premium gerbera
production than expensive tissue culture liners. Cartwheel fits into
current plug production practices for self-sowers or is easily purchased
from young plant producers, which means no special regimen is
needed to differentiate a gerbera offer.
Incorporating an ICM strategy into your
growing program combines several plant
protection tactics to control pests and
diseases for improved plant health and
growing potential. To develop an effective
ICM strategy, growers should consider their
resources, growing conditions and crop
problems, and determine what type of ICM
program will work best for their operation.
Incorporating physical and chemical controls
is the best way to begin a successful ICM
program. For pest control specifically,
Syngenta recommends incorporating
Bioline™ biological control agents (BCAs),
which are beneficial insects used to provide
natural control of harmful pests. BCAs thrive
in ICM programs where they supplement
and help reduce resistance development to
plant protection products.
Bioline ™ Biological Control Agents
for Gerbera ICM Programs
Target Pest Biological Control Agents
Jaguar is the earliest and most uniform series on the market today! Its spacesaving footprint simplifies production and eases shipping. Making gerbera
production more affordable, Jaguar boosts your profits year-round.
Manageable foliage and short, sturdy flower stems showcase the superior
bloom quality of Jaguar and allow for more high-density production than
other varieties. Jaguar is ideal for four- to six-inch premium containers and
baskets, requiring no plant growth regulators, further reducing production
costs for growers.
Jaguar reliably displays three to five flowers per plant at first flush uniformly
across the color range – no ‘cherry picking’ required. Consistently flowering
seven to ten days earlier than other series, Jaguar allows for faster greenhouse
turns and more efficient harvesting and shipping. Its tidy, uniform habit fits
more plants per rack, maximizing the value of each shipment.
ELEPHANT
Jaguar Tangerine
Elephant is suited for six-inch and larger
containers. Thick, strong stems support
huge—up to six inches wide—flowers
above robust plants that continuously
flower throughout their life. Elephant
also holds up well at retail and is resilient
during handling and merchandising.
As a giant flower type, it works wells
in large, premium patio planters and
combinations. Elephant is extremely
versatile for premium sales outlets
and earns instant attention at retail. A
breeding breakthrough, Elephant is a
unique upgrade to classic gerbera.
Jaguar Deep Rose
With nearly 20 colors that fit every gift-giving occasion, Jaguar is the perfect
potted gift plant. It is great for color spots and holiday displays at retail to
stimulate impulse sales that increase profits for both growers and retailers.
With unmatched uniformity and earliness, count on the reliability of Jaguar to
hit targeted sales promotions throughout the year.
Elephant scarlet
Jaguar Scarlet Shades Dark Center
Elephant is ideal for gerbera growers on
the cutting edge. This oversized variety
with giant flowers is completely unique,
providing a one-of-a-kind look for
growers aiming to distinguish their offer.
