Obtaining, a strategy of dynamism and improvement

For many years, Pepinieres Renault made a special breeding program and launching of new varieties a major strategic plan.

Launch of new research programs

Pepinieres Renault have been a pioneer in France for the introduction of plants from France and foreign countries (Potentille Red Ace®, Rubus tricolor, Pyracantha Alexander®...).

In 1974, Pepinieres Renault were co-founder of the group Sapho, who had in collaboration with the Institut national de la recherche agronomique (INRA), vocation to create and spread recent plants creations. Sapho, which is managed by Eric Renault, is currently the French leader in the introduction of new varieties of bushes. Saphois now spreading worldwide the new varieties of breeders from different countries.

In 1980, Pepinieres Renault took part in the creation of GIE Saphyr, which after a long program of selection, introduced the product line of Pyracantha Saphyr®, a variety resistant to fire blight.

In 1985, another research program was created: Saphinov. This program permitted the creation of Caryopteris Grand Bleu®, Hydrangea Semiola®, Clématite Saphyra® Indigo…

In 2004, the group Eurogeni, formed by multiple European nurseries, undertook researches on the genistees (Cytisus, Genista...). The work taking place at the moment are promising.

In 2009, Pepinieres Renault became co-founder of the group Hydranova. This group is specialized in the analysis of Hydrangea and the research of interspecific crossings. Eurogeni and Hydranova are part of a varietal research program, supported by ministerial funds, in the scope of Végépolys, competitive vegetal hub with a global vocation.

Research on the Hydrangea paniculata

Since 1985, we established a specific program for the Hydrangea paniculata. After 20 years of selections and over 25,000 seedings, we selected the Hydrangea paniculata Vanille Fraise® ‘Renhy’ (Vanilla Strawberry®).

This variety of plants received a large success worldwide: awarded at the International exhibtion of Boskoop (NED), elected Big Flower of the year from the magazine Rustica, received the Innovert prize from the Vegetal Exhibition of Angers, Best Selection in the USA in 2009 in front of 85 other plants. Vanille Fraise® or Vanilla Strawberry® is nowadays sold in the entire world

Nowadays, 5 hectares (12 acres) of culture are dedicated to the production of plants addressed to the urban revegetation.
