Mother’s Day Amore™ Petunias brightened her special day

Stealing the show at the annual plant fair at Leiden Hortus Botanic Gardens on May 11, 2019 were Danziger’s Amore Petunias. Visitors were treated to sumptuous heart-shaped Amore displays while being offered the perfect Mother’s Day gift: a free sample of Petunia Amore King of Heart.

Flowers have always been associated with love and Danziger’s  Amore™ Petunia series with their elegant white petals featuring pink hearts are the quintessential symbol of pure love.

Danziger’s promotion team was at hand to provide visitors of the plant fair with tips on how to plant, grow and care for Amore Petunias. Occupying pride of place was the latest addition to the Amore family:  AMORE™ King of Heart.

“Spreading love, not selling flowers,” is the message from Liat Shemer, Global Marketing Manager at Danziger. “The petunia market is highly competitive with many new varieties entering the marketplace each year. How to capture the hearts and minds of growers, buyers and consumers alike? ‘Spreading love, not selling flowers’ resulted in a new approach to branding and marketing. As such we launched the AMORE ™  brand,  a universally understood word for love.”

The Hortus Botanicus Leiden is the oldest botanical garden in the Netherlands. The oldest part of the Hortus, dating from 1590, is the current Front Garden. It has been renovated with new plants and in 2000 a new greenhouse was added to form the Winter Garden. The Clusius Garden gives an impression of what the Hortus was around 1600, when the ties between the Netherlands and Asia were formed. The exchange of plants and knowledge between these cultures can be seen in the Japanese garden. The pride of the Hortus, Victoria Amazonica, can be admired in the Victoria Glasshouse.
