Following its triple win with the prestigious 'Novelty of the Year' awards, Plantipp is thrilled to announce that two more awards have been secured at IPM Essen 2025. 

Lewisia Sunset Glow has captured the hearts of the public, winning the Public’s Favourite Award. A day neutral Lewisia with a vibrant read colour break. This stunning perennial starts flowering in spring and boasts an ongoing flowering spree until the first frost! This reliable, flowering, brightly coloured Lewisia brings vibrant colour to any outdoor space with minimal maintenance.

The exceptional Hydrangea paniculata Groundbreaker® Blush ('LC NO21'PBR) has been awarded the Show Your Colours Award, recognising its outstanding aesthetic appeal and garden performance. This unique variety sets itself apart with its low-growing, spreading habit, making it perfect for ground cover applications. Its delicate blush-pink panicles bloom profusely from summer through autumn, providing long-lasting seasonal interest. Hardy and adaptable, Groundbreaker® Blush is a revolutionary addition to both residential gardens and landscaping projects.

These additional wins, along with the previously announced 'Novelty of the Year' awards for Cornus kousa Flower Tower ('ZuilB1'PBR) and Musa sikkimensis Ever Red ('Lou 1'PBR), and the special award for Hibiscus syriacus Flower Tower Ruby ('Gandini van Aart Ruby'PBR), reinforce Plantipp’s dedication to introducing innovative and high-performing plant varieties.
