"The demand for high-quality cut chrysanthemums with exceptional durability and aesthetic perfection is constantly growing. With Osaka, we present a variety that fulfils these requirements in every respect", says Leon Hunting, Sales Manager at Brandkamp, a German breeder and young plant grower of several bedding plants as well as in pot and cut chrysanthemums

"Perfection in color and form"
According to Hunting, Osaka impresses with its radiantly pure white color. "This is ideal for floral arrangements. Noteworthy is the long-lasting, intense green center, a quality feature that is appreciated by many customers. This unique coloring ensures that the flower looks fresh and lively throughout its entire shelf life. Our performance tests confirm the shelf life and stability of Osaka. This variety offers producers a high level of reliability and quality."
High demand in Asian market
The demand is particularly high in the Asian market, he continues. "The demand for such a variety has existed for quite some time, especially in the Asian market, where white is a traditional color. The green center is seen as a symbol of freshness, making a bright white flower with a long-lasting green heart particularly desirable."

New varieties expand the range
In addition to Osaka, Brandkamp has launched other cut chrysanthemums on the market this season. "Xian Purple expands the popular Xian line with an intense new color variant, while Ceylon Cooper complements the Ceylon family range with warm, coppery tones."
Increasing demand for bright and unique colors
Looking ahead, Hunting expects an increasing demand for brighter and more unique colors, such as bicolors or other special shades. „In addition, vase life for cut chrysanthemums is becoming more important, whether they are used in bouquets or as single stems."

Grow as a spray and as a disbud
Another trend he observes is the growing interest in the ability to grow a variety, both, as a spray and as a disbud. "Flexibility will be key for producers in the future. That's why we have a big request for example at the varieties like Xian and Ceylon, which can produce in both ways."
Ease of production
"For other chrysanthemum types, ease of production is essential, especially when it comes to reducing energy inputs like heating and watering."
Variety beyond cut chrysanthemums
In addition to their cut chrysanthemums, Brandkamp also offers a wide selection of multiflora and pot chrysanthemums. "Our continuous breeding and testing work guarantees the best possible quality for our customers year after year."

Brandkamp's new varieties are now available and growers can still order for this season. Also, growers will have the opportunity to experience Osaka, their latest varieties and a selection of their top-selling chrysanthemums live at FlowerTrials 2025. "With Osaka and our other new products, we are setting new standards in chrysanthemum cultivation - for growers, florists and anyone who appreciates the highest quality."
