Flower Carpet®, Tropicanna® videos a huge web hit!

Download the news release in Microsoft Word format: Breaking News - Flower Carpet Rose and Tropicanna Canna Videos (07-08-2010).

  • [View]

Flower Carpet roses and Tropicanna cannas are making a big splash on the web, via the latest how-to videos from Dave Epstein of Growing Wisdom (an online how-to video show for homeowners and horticulture pros).

Flower Carpet Roses - Pink

The videos, “How to Grow Tropicanna in Containers” and “Flower Carpet Roses in Containers” have been picked up by the popular how-to/DIY video site www.5min.com (averaging 16 million visitors a month), the media search website www.mefeedia.com (averaging 1.2 million visitors a month), www.metacafe.com (averaging 500,000 visitors a day) and howcast.com (averaging  200,000 visitors a month). (All traffic data, for US only, according to www.quantcast.com.) The videos can also be seen on Viddler.com, Blinkx.com, Growing Wisdom and YouTube.

“In containers, you want a thriller, a filler and a spiller,” says Epstein in the Tropicanna cannas video. “And our Tropicannas, of course, are the thriller.” He then uses the rainbow-striped foliage of the original Tropicanna and the yellow-striped leaves of Tropicanna Gold to create stunning container designs – even without flowers!

Flower Carpet Rose - Yellow

Those who want flowers in their containers, however, can use Flower Carpet roses, says Epstein. “I can put one Flower Carpet rose in the container and eventually it will fill the entire container. And that’s one perfectly great choice …”  Or, as he demonstrates, you can use Flower Carpet’s compact, low-growing roses as just one element – or even the centerpiece – of a great design.

These videos can be downloaded easily from Growing Wisdom for use on your own website. As you can see from the traffic data above, there’s already millions of views a day on these plants! And with container and small-space gardening at record highs, now’s the time to promote them to customers!

Best regards,
