Ten plants have been nominated for the Show Your Colours Award IPM 2025. All exhibitors of IPM with woody plants and perennials could submit plants or plant concepts for this award.

Ten plants/plant concepts were eventually nominated from the entries. The Show Your Colours Award will be presented on Thursday 30 January 2025 at 15:00 in the BIZZ Holland stand, hall 8, stand number 8A30-4.

The Show Your Colours Award IPM was introduced to encourage trade fair participants to put their products with a plus in the spotlight. With added value in the form of a label, beautiful pot, clever concept or simply by telling a bit more about the plant, a plant can generate extra attention.
