The Colourwave® Story

The Colourwave® story in New Zealand starts over 25 years ago, producing high quality summer perennials as an exciting and easy way to add big splashes of vibrant colour to the home landscape, whether in garden beds, hanging baskets, or on the patio in pots.

All the Colourwave® selections have been bred for good growth, easy care, disease resistance, and most importantly, masses of summer blooms which present all over the plant. These selections are the result of over 30 years of breeding work by Suntory of Japan who are one of the world’s leading plant breeders. Colourwave® Petunias have been sold extensively in Europe and North America for many years, and have been hugely popular with both home gardeners and local councils alike due to their superior performance. Plants grown under the Colourwave® brand come in a wide range of colours and flower types to suit your individual needs and desires. They can be planted in the border as a flowering groundcover, or in pots, planters, tubs, rockeries, hanging baskets, and the list goes on. Wherever you choose to plant them, Colourwave® Summer Perennials are sure to enhance the garden.

All varieties have been extensively trialled by the breeders in locations all around the world before they get to New Zealand, where we also trial every variety before deciding to release these. This ensures that only the best varieties become available to New Zealand gardeners.
