Using ONT long-read sequencing data, highly continuous genome assemblies were generated. This data publication contains the genome sequence with corresponding structural annotation.We are grateful for the excellent support provided by the team of the University of Bonn Botanic Gardens.German Network for Bioinformatics Infrastructure (de.NBI) and ELIXIR-DEForschungszentrum Jülich and W-de.NBI-001, W-de.NBI-004, W-de.NBI-008, W-de.NBI-010, W-de.NBI-013, W-de.NBI-014, W-de.NBI-016, W-de.NBI-022
