White poinsettia scores awards for 5 years in a row

On January 18th, the award for the best poinsettias organized by Glastuinbow Nederland and Royal Flora Holand took place again.

SV.CO and Martin van der Velden won with the Alaska variety. The former is in the mini 6cm vase category; the latter is in the 12-13cm vase category.

This is the fifth year in a row that the Alaska variety scored awards both in the color and in three vase categories. Alaska isn’t only easily adaptable to every vase dimension and shape, but it also stays fresh and vibrant for a long time in the hands of customers. After all, that’s all a grower can ask from a white poinsettia variety.

“I want to say thank you to those two growers who appreciated Alaska’s pure white, its ease of cultivation in every type of vase, and its sturdiness during transport,” says Andrea Lazzeri from Lazzeri Geenetica. “I’d also like to take this opportunity to invite everyone to view our 2024 poinsettia collection, especially the 3 recently introduced red varieties: Aida, Carmen, and Maestro,” he concludes.
