Granvia represents a significant advancement in the breeding of Xerochrysum, positioning the series as a standout option for premium bedding, patio and landscape applications. As the Master Licencee for Australia, Bonza Botanicals is proud to support the supply of this series to production nurseries nationwide.
Distinctive Flower Form and Exceptional Presence
Granvia is known for its oversized blooms, which exceed the dimensions of standard Xerochrysum varieties commonly found in the market. This enlarged floral display is a defining trait, creating strong visual impact both in production and at retail.
Granvia Gold, the hero colour within the range, features intense yellow flowers that develop warm orange tones at the centre as the blooms mature. The petal structure gives the flower a refined, sculptural look that immediately elevates its presentation in pots, containers and garden beds. In addition to Gold, the series includes White, Dark Orange Flame, Red Flame, Pink Flame and Dark Pink Flame, giving growers a versatile palette with clear retail appeal.
Granvia flowers hold their form well after harvest, allowing them to be used as dried material or in decorative applications, a feature valued by both home gardeners and floral hobbyists.
Reliable Growth for Production Nurseries
The Granvia series has been bred with grower efficiency in mind. Plants establish quickly, flower early and maintain strong colour quality throughout the season. Their controlled yet vigorous growth suits a range of pot sizes, with uniform branching that supports consistent scheduling and presentation.
These traits make Granvia well-suited to Australian commercial conditions, particularly during the warm months when consumers seek hardy, high-impact flowering options.
Recognised for Excellence on the Global Stage
Granvia Gold has earned recognition at several international horticultural competitions, reflecting its standout qualities and strong consumer appeal. The variety received top honours in the Bedding and Balcony Plants category at the 2019 IPM Essen Novelties Contest, one of the industry's most respected award platforms. It was also selected as a FleuroStar contender, a distinction reserved for varieties with exceptional retail presence and high visual impact during FlowerTrials.
These achievements highlight the series innovation, reliability and strong market positioning across global ornamental plant markets.
A Premium Choice for Retail and Landscape
With its combination of oversized blooms, strong durability and proven performance, Granvia offers growers a premium option that stands out on benches and at the point of sale. For retailers, the series delivers immediate shelf impact and a colour range suited to both modern and traditional garden styles.
Bonza Botanicals is committed to supporting Australian production partners in bringing this innovative Suntory Flowers genetics range to market, ensuring Granvia continues to thrive in gardens, landscapes and decorative applications nationwide.
