Oglesby is well known in the tropical plant industry as a leader in the development and marketing of new plant varieties. We firmly believe that our industry needs a constant infusion of new and superior plants to help maintain growers’ profit margins and to keep the buying public interested in our products. Some of our most popular introductions include the Anthuriums in the ‘SmallTalk’ ^® series, Anthurium Salsa^PAT#13608, Euphorbia Hapa^™, Homalomena ‘Emerald Gem’, Musa ‘Super Dwarf Banana’^®, Philodendron Rojo Congo^PAT#14116, Schefflera ‘Amate’^®, Spathiphyllum ‘Patrice’ ^{TM PAT #9901}, Spathiphyllum ‘Power Petite’^PAT#15649, Spathiphyllum ‘Sensation’^{® PAT#6964}, Spathiphyllum ‘Supreme’ ^®, Spathiphyllum ‘Sweet Chico’^PPAF, Spathiphyllum ‘Sweet Pablo’ ^PAT#10817, Syngonium ‘Glo-Go’ ^PAT#12282 and the White Mandevilla ‘Bride’s Cascade’ PAT#19698.In recent years we have been diversifying to outdoor,  garden, and landscape plants.

To ensure the continuous flow of new varieties, we have committed significant resources to our Research and Development department, both in the laboratory and the greenhouse, where we manage an extensive breeding program. As this program is so unique to the tropical plant industry, Oglesby cooperates with other breeders for their efforts in exchange for our formula of testing, selection and trial work. This year and in coming years, we will be introducing exciting new varieties that will gain extended marketing life due to superior qualities and proprietary values.
