In the late 1980s, MNP / Suntory had a vision. To bring to market a plant with strong colors, flowering power, and garden performance for consumers.
"Surfinia® was the very first trailing-Petunia on the market and because it was propagated from cuttings qualitatively phenomenal. In no time, Surfinia became the standard and a true consumers' favorite," the company's team says.
"To this day, Surfinia is still the only true and best-selling trailing-petunia series worldwide." And 32 years later, the brand reached an unparalleled milestone by selling its 1.500.000.000th plant in Europe only. The 1.5 billionth Surfinia was festively presented at the FlowerTrials® to influencer Michael Perry, aka 'Mr. Plant Geek,' out of the hands of MNP's CEO and the man behind the success of Surfinia, Jeroen F. Egtberts."
"Surfinia is more than a brand. It has become a colorful European icon. Surfinia has changed and colored European street sceneries and how people experience and remember the streets, places, cities, and countries they visit."
"The best thing is that Surfinia is still around. It is alive and kicking. And with the introduction of its all-new collection of large-flowered and ultra-strong trailing varieties, MNP / Suntory feels that Surfinia is on the edge of yet another decade of greatness," they conclude.
