CANBY, Ore. – Terra Nova Nurseries (www.terranovanurseries.com), a global leader in plant breeding, announced its presence at the Guangzhou Lingnan Flower Wholesale Market, the largest single horticultural wholesale market in China. This marks Terra Nova’s third spring sale season at the Guangzhou Lingnan Flower Wholesale Market through its partnership with licensee Chongqing Tianmu Agriculture.
The Guangzhou Lingnan Flower Wholesale Market is open to the public and horticulture trade year-round. It receives 20,000 visitors per day, comprising local Guangzhou citizens, garden center and flower shop owners, landscapers and brokers.
Terra Nova worked with Chongqing Tianmu Agriculture to force and finish a selection of Terra Nova’s top-performing varieties for the Guangzhou Lingnan Flower Wholesale Market. The plants developed at a high-elevation nursery with cooler temperatures before being transported to Guangzhou. The warm and humid climate in Guangzhou allows these varieties to bloom as early as February, while plants in other regions are still dormant.
“Guangdong, as the southernmost province in mainland China, experiences the earliest spring,” said Kevin Chen, Terra Nova’s Asia representative. “While other regions in China are still unable to source finished flowers or plants, the varieties we’ve coordinated with Chongqing Tianmu Agriculture are already blooming or reaching maturity in Guangzhou. We believe this early performance will translate into strong sales and successful market reception.”
