Spring Trials

(4/9/16) -- Well, the adventure is underway. Clouds and rain at GreenFuse, Ball and Grolink. Seems clearer as we approach Lompoc after a full day. Several new series at GreenFuse including Grandstand Salvia, Momento™ Nemesia and Marineland™ Lobularia. Too many new introductions @ Ball to mention here and to many displays @ Grolink to cover here, though the PlantHaven Water Saving display was fodder for some fun.
Day two was overcast in Beullton as we visited several displays at Windmill Nursery including many new varieties from TerraNova and trusted specimens from Kientzler. We moved on to HGTV Collection where we learned about a new relationship with EuroAmerican to supply product and we then rounded out the day with Dummen Orange at two locations. Day 3 @ Floricultura was with Westhoff, Beekenkamp and PlugConnection, followed by Sakata, Takii and Golden State Bulb.
Day 4 was with Proven Winners at their new location where many annual, perennial and shrubs were presented, followed by Pacific Plug and its many vendors and then Benary, who presented new begonias and other specimens. Finally, we visited Speedling with its six vendors, then moved on to Danziger and finished at Syngenta. Keep tuned for all the details as we compile them. Happy Growing from SpringTrials.org

Limbo™ GP Series by Hem Genetics BV

New from HEM Genetics, Spring Trials 2016: The next generation genetic dwarf petunias are indicated by the characters “GP” which stands for Garden performance. Compared to the first generation genetic dwarf petunias, the GPs perform exactly the same for the greenhouse grower with compact habit for ease of culture without PGRs. The difference in garden performance is noticeable to consumers because they show more growth vigor, resulting in a more robust plant habit with an even better performance in containers, beds, and the landscape. Better branching and reduced leaf development provides better airflow which reduces the risk of disease, especially botrytis. Limbo™ petunias are perfect for high-density pack production, containers and hanging baskets. In addition to three new colors: 'Burgundy', 'Sky Blue' and 'Mid Blue', we have added a new 'Heather's Mix' which was created by Heather-Will Browne at Walt Disney World Horticulture for use in their parks. Because she is well respected for her knowledge of the effective use of color combinations in the landscape, we have named this mixture as a tribute to her.
