Lucanne B.V. owner Perry Wismans signed an agreement with Dümmen Orange that assigns and transfers all rights, titles and interests related to the Dümmen Orange Heliconia breeding program to Lucanne B.V.
Lucanne aims to commercialize the Heliconia product line globally. The breeding focus will remain on compact growth, early flowering, and improved performance under cooler conditions, traits that will make these stunning plants accessible and versatile for growers and gardeners alike.
Tosca Ferber, Chief Technology Officer at Dümmen Orange, is pleased to see her breeding direction continue under Lucanne's operations: "We have more than ten years of breeding efforts in this crop, and it's rewarding to see this effort continues. I have no doubt that this product has a fantastic future under Perry's commercial leadership."
Starter material is available from Tissue Culture; both for the commercial introductions and test varieties.
