Moving towards 100% clean production

Mike Klopmeyer
Former Darwin Perennials General Manager

Our Darwin Colombia farm is cleaning house! New initiatives are helping us move towards 100% clean production for our perennial supply. For instance, we’ve implemented an on-site Tissue Culture lab. Any new varieties will come from TC only – quarantined until proven clean and worthy. We’re also leading the charge in stock renewal from tissue culture. Darwin Colombia has on-site pathology support for basic virus screening and culture indexing, with an option to escalate to our West Chicago pathology lab. All these changes are truly an investment for the future!

Do you propagate Vaccinium myrtillus (blue berries) ?

Blueberries are not part of our current Darwin Perennials assortment. Please reach out to our partners at Star Roses and Plants. Their brand of small-fruit is available commercially: https://www.bushelandberry.com/
