Sakata expands partnership with award-winning garden and lifestyle expert

Sakata Seed America has announced an expanded partnership with P. Allen Smith. As part of this expanded partnership, Smith will promote the company’s SunPatiens® impatiens brand.

 

Now veggie and flower gardeners alike will be able to tune into Smith’s television shows, YouTube channel, social media platforms, and digital communications to not only learn about Sakata vegetables, but also learn how to plant, grow and decorate with Sakata flowers.

 

“Exceptional gardens and landscapes are created with exceptional plants," says Smith. "SunPatiens, because of their extraordinary genetics, offer a variety of colors and texture that thrive in both sun and shade. SunPatiens are ‘user friendly’ for the home gardener and make even beginners shine like a pro. Easy to grow and with no fuss, they can be relied upon to deliver a ‘wow’ because of their consistent flower power. For big color, beauty and style, SunPatiens are at the top of my list.”

 

Smith’s television programs, Garden Home, Garden to Table, and Garden Style, air on over 590 stations nationally, and speak to a range of related markets, such as gardening and outdoor living, food and cooking and farming and agriculture. Smith’s other partners include respected names like Bonnie Plants, Proven Winners, Jobes Organics and Le Creuset.

 

“Through extensive trialing at Moss Mountain Farm in Little Rock, Arkansas, Allen has been able to select varieties that are not only beautiful, but are easy to grow and offer a great selection of color, texture and form," says Mark Seguin, Sakata’s Product Manager for SunPatiens. "Allen recognizes that our award-winning SunPatiens impatiens offer consumers so much.”
