Blushing Brassicas
We can’t get enough of it: all those beautiful autumn colours in nature! And at this time of year, of course, also the changing colours on the dewy, misty Brassica fields at our growers.

The colour shifts are caused by pigments present in the plants that show changes under specific conditions. In the case of Brassica, it is mainly anthocyanin that induces the familiar intense red and purple hues at low temperatures. Fantastic autumn and winter colours that combine so beautifully in festive arrangements or bold bouquets
With the Brassica Empire series and the various specialties available exclusively through Evanthia, you create a colourful assortment with a great look, Brassicas with long sturdy stems and a tougher leaf structure. In addition, Empire is less sensitive to diseases and shows a strong reduction of the typical Brassica odour.
Colouring speed
Those colour changes are wonderful and offer the chance to keep surprising your customers, but it is something to consider while composing your assortment. Not all varieties react with the same intensity or speed. To give a little more insight, we have divided our product range into colouring speed levels: Early – Medium – Late.
For example, Brassica Empire Akilina is one of the varieties that will blush first and Empire Ksenia will change colour last. Dive into our range and discover all the different appearances (round, feathered or serrated leaves) and colours.
Trials with impact: sharing knowledge, seeing differences, thinking ahead
At the G. van den Beukel nursery in Monster the crops were Antirrhinum and Matthiola In June, the spotlight was once again on Evanthia during its annual flower trials. The exhibition attracted visitors from the Netherlands and abroad and offered ample opportunity for professional discussions, practical insights, and the exploration of new market opportunities.
