At the 35th edition of GrootGroenPlus, Plantipp proudly secured two prestigious gold medals in the Green Grand Prix competition. The international jury recognised the exceptional quality and innovation.
Double Gold at GrootGroenPlus 2025
Osmanthus heterophyllus ‘PNOS01’ (PERFUME PARTY), bred by Satoki Matsui and sent in by Boomkwekerij B. van Roesse, is celebrated for its refined fragrance and ornamental value. A compact evergreen shrub with glossy green foliage and copper-orange new growth. Sweetly scented blooms delight both gardeners and pollinators. Hardy, disease-resistant, and tolerant of heat and drought — ideal for borders, low hedges, or pots.
Phillyrea angustifolia ‘Grand Prix’®, bred and sent in by Huijbregts Boomkwekerij BV, is honoured for its elegant form and strong performance. Bringing a Mediterranean touch with its glossy dark foliage and naturally dense, upright habit. Highly resilient to salt, heat, drought, and pollution, this adaptable evergreen thrives in hedges or landscapes, formal or natural.
Taking home two of the three gold awards is a real recognition of the unique qualities these plants bring. Both winners show how new introductions can combine beauty with resilience, offering something special for growers, landscapers, and gardeners alike.

Bronze medals
In addition, three Plantipp introductions earned Bronze medals:
- Miscanthus ‘Lady in Red’®, sent in by Hoogenraad Handelskwekerijen BV, is a striking ornamental grass with purple-green spring foliage that turns vivid red in autumn, topped with elegant silvery plumes.
- Cornus kousa ‘ZuilB1’ (FLOWER TOWER®), sent in by ASRA Plant bvba, is a narrow, upright tree that delivers abundant flowers in May–June and fiery scarlet foliage in autumn. Its tall, columnar shape makes it a perfect choice for small urban gardens.
-
Buxus 'HER2008114' (GIANT), sent in by Herplant BV, is a fast-growing, easy-to-trim, and highly resilient plant. GIANT is perfect for wide, show-stopping hedges — combining strength with classic elegance.
These results highlight the strength of the new introductions and the value they can bring to gardens and landscapes far beyond this event.
