Breeders
Must Have Perennials values our breeder relationships as we work together to patent, spotlight, and create a buzz in the commercial market for new, unique, and often rare plants. Must Have Perennials is recognized for our plant introductions because they go through rigorous trials for plant quality and reliability testing at secure trial sites worldwide prior to introduction.
Our perennial flowers are also trialed at universities and botanic gardens, which provide valuable information on regional performance. Only those which prove to be genuinely
garden-worthy make it into commercial production.
Our private trials in North America and Europe allow us to measure performance in different climates over several a period of at least two years. We provide data from our field and
production trials that helps differentiate
varieties from parent plants and other
plants on the market to prove uniqueness.
Must Have Perennials works with over
30 licensees worldwide to produce and distribute plants in a number of markets.
Our close relationship with our supply chain partners helps ensure that Must Have Perennials’ varieties make it to the end consumer free of viruses and other pathogens, exemplifying our
commitment to quality.

Senior Product Manager
With over 23 years working in the horticulture industry, I’m bringing together my background in sales, growing and product development at such companies as Griffin Greenhouse Supplies and North Creek Nursery to help Must Have Perennials breeders. My love of horticulture was cultivated in my grandparent’s vegetable garden and home orchard.
I graduated from Temple University’s Horticulture program and began my career as an intern in the new products department at Green Leaf Plants. Perennials have been my passion for most of my career and I am happy to bring all my experiences together to serve our amazing breeders and set them up with a supply chain of the highest quality growers.
We at Must Have Perennials look forward to working with you!
