Jeanine Janssen, Breeder for Viola cornuta: “With Penny Pro, we’ve focused on breeding for reliability and robustness across diverse conditions and seasons. Our goal is to create a series that enables grower success during peak sales periods worldwide. We’ve combined this resilience with improved bright colours, grower-friendly habits, and series-wide uniformity. But we’re not stopping here – our breeding efforts continue as we work to expand the colour range while increasing the high-performance standards of Penny Pro.”
