Cooperation with Mainau island
What can be better than an expert? An entire team, naturally!
It gives us great pleasure to announce our partnership with Mainau GmbH. We are linking bellissa’s horticulture competence with the expertise of the Mainau gardeners, setting out on new adventures with combined strengths.
Both companies want to ensure generational equity and think and act for the long term: economically, socially and ecologically. We are convinced that only a sustainable economic approach can survive long term. This is exactly why we are almost made for one another and are looking forward to the future and many mutual projects!
Joint development of the
Mainau plant support for dahlias
Together with the island of Mainau, we developed the Mainau plant support in 2021.
Until then, Mainau was looking for a plant support that was stable, but also flexible enough and easy to hammer in. In addition, the plant support had to have a kind of curve at the top so that the Mainau gardeners would not injure themselves in this confined working environment.
After the first prototype was produced by us in 2022 and put through its paces by the Mainau gardeners, the plant support with the beautiful swan neck was born in 2023 and has been supporting over 12,000 dahlias on the island of Mainau ever since.

Dahlia selection 2024
Very well supported by our Mainau plant stakes, 30,000 dahlias showed themselves in their full splendour in bright summer sunshine and let us shine together.
As part of the opening of this year's dahlia show, we were able to surprise Queen Elisabeth II and other guests of honour with a bouquet of Mainau plant sticks on behalf of bellissa. During the subsequent walk through the promenade, we explained the advantages of the planting stick and the joint co-operation under media attention with garden director Markus Zeiler.
We were joined by some exciting guests: Köstritzer Dahlia Queen Elisabeth II, dahlia cookery book author Ann-Sophie Panzer, dahlia growers Dirk and Katrin from the well-known Paul Panzer horticultural dynasty, WDR, Robert Fellner from Biplantol, and many more

As part of the "Year of Basil 2022", the Mainau gardeners planted 48 varieties of basil. For this purpose, our INALTOs were set up on Mainau island and filled with the different basils. The popular pesto herb presents itself in its enormous diversity: green, red and black as well as with different leaf patterns.

Tomato Roundel exhibition
In 2023 from 14 - 21 August everything revolved around the tomato in Platanenweg 5 on Mainau island, where the tasty fruit was on display in its many variations. The exhibited tomato plants were once again supported by our bellissa tomato spirals and tomato towers.
On a 2 m round table over 500 different varieties of the tasty fruit were on display supported and explained by Mr Tomato himself, Michael Schick.
