Monrovia Nursery is introducing Strong Starts, a new yearly program with planned liner orders. The goal of the Strong Starts program is to make these plants more accessible to the landscape market.
“We want the landscape market to be more aware of our genetics,” said Mark Hixson, regional sales manager at Monrovia. “There are phenomenal varieties from Monrovia that are superior in performance and offer easier maintenance. These quality, healthy plants create happy customers and can mean less call backs for landscapers.”
Monrovia is applying the same quality and growing specifications used for its plant production in the liner program. Liners will feature exceptionally strong plants, grown to the company’s exacting standards. Select Monrovia genetics will be available in the following sizes:
- Better Beginnings #72
- Rooted and Ready #24
- Prime Starts #15
“The Strong Starts program gives us an opportunity to create unique partnerships with growers,” said Ted McDonald, vice president of sales at Monrovia. “Our team is invested in the success of our partners and their customers, and will be available for suggested growing tips and to answer questions throughout the season.”
