Love Flowers?<br />
Welcome to Your<br />
Happy Place!<br />
If you want the best flower seeds in the industry for your<br />
business, you‘ve come to the right place!<br />
With an almost 200 year old legacy as a family-owned business,<br />
you might think of <strong>Benary</strong> as an old or old-fashioned company...<br />
On the contrary.<br />
Throughout our long history, world events have played a<br />
significant role in the necessity to continuously reinvent<br />
ourselves, giving us the spirit of a multigenerational startup.<br />
Despite many challenges and transitions throughout the years,<br />
<strong>Benary</strong> has not only survived, every obstacle we have faced has<br />
made us stronger, better.<br />
Together we are striving to be the most professional,<br />
innovative and personal company in global floriculture.<br />
Thank you for working with us!

Thomas’ Tip<br />
BIG ® Begonias are the BEST! I give BIG ® s to friends and family<br />
who love them because they perform in heat, cold, dry and wet<br />
conditions and just keep flowering! And since the blossoms are<br />
edible I love to add them to drinks, salads & dips.<br />

<strong>Seed</strong> Technology: <strong>Seed</strong> Forms<br />
Raw<br />
Purity in all Shapes<br />
<strong>Seed</strong>, in its raw form, comes in all kinds of shapes. All raw seed lots are cleaned and<br />
processed using multiple mechanical procedures to obtain highly pure,<br />
homogenous seed products.<br />
Detailed<br />
Significant Improvement of Sowing<br />
Detailed seeds are offered for seed forms having a tail, which makes the sowing more difficult.<br />
For some flower cultures such as Tagetes (Marigolds) the tail of the seed is mechanically<br />
removed, which significantly improves its sowability.<br />
Coating<br />
<strong>Seed</strong> Placement & Sowability<br />
Thin coatings are used to monitor sowing efficiency. Colored seeds offer a high contrast<br />
and thus are easy to spot on dark soil. In contrast, thicker coatings (Encrustings) increase<br />
the flowability.<br />
Some plant species produce seeds that have a very flat or irregular shape. These seeds are of<br />
poor flowability and can severely impede automatic sowing processes. Encrusting the seeds to<br />
give a rounder shape and smoother surface can help solving this challenge.<br />
Pelleting<br />
Easy Sowing & Controlling of <strong>Seed</strong>s per Cell<br />
Some types of plants produce extremely small sized seeds, which makes automated<br />
sowing nearly impossible. These seeds are pelleted to increase their size by<br />
approximately 5 to 20 fold. Pellets allow plug growers to easily sow and<br />
control the number of seeds per cell.<br />

We are committed to making your products easier to<br />

• Increase your yields<br />
• Reduce production costs<br />
• Improve vigor<br />
• Produce full, uniform plug trays<br />
• Plan reliable production<br />
• Gain sustainable, environmentally friendly inputs<br />
Multipellets<br />
Contain Several <strong>Seed</strong>s<br />
Multipellets are just like standard pellets except each pellet contains several seeds.<br />
This makes producing some species such as Lobelia or Portulaca easier by<br />
guaranteeing a bushy plant with just one pellet.<br />
Priming<br />
Faster Germination & Higher Uniformity<br />
During the priming process, germination is initiated and then interrupted at a specific stage of<br />
physiological development. When planted, primed seeds offer a faster and more uniform<br />
germination. The increased uniformity often remains well beyond the seedling stage.<br />
The faster seedling development allows you to use greenhouse space more efficiently.<br />
At the same time, faster seedling development reduces the number of losses that can occur<br />
during the critical germination period.<br />
Optimal storage: up to 6 months at 41 °F / 5 °C<br />
ApeX<br />
Optimized Germination & Excellent <strong>Seed</strong> Quality<br />
Many perennials from seed need to overcome a natural dormancy for proper germination.<br />
The Apex program combines a wide range of techniques to ‘break’ the dormancy. As a result,<br />
ApeX-treated seeds show significantly increased germination efficiencies and ensure that the<br />
seed has the optimum germination for growers.<br />
Optimal storage: up to 6 months at 41 °F / 5 °C<br />
