CALIFORNIA SPRING TRIALS NEWS

Preliminary Updates for 2016 Now Available
  Database of Over 1200 Featured Varieties from 2016
The 2016 Spring Trials Review (5/12/16) -- It was both exciting and at times overwhelming to see yet another new variety with a stunning habit, color or unique feature. California Spring Trials never ceases to be amazing and 2016 was no exception. Many new colors and varieties of existing series or popular brands were plentiful. It started with GreenFues, Ball and everyone @ GroLink on Day One to the group @ Speedling, Danziger and Syngenta on Day Five.

We have attempted to capture all of the business and company news with our Wall photos and all of the new and featured varieties presented at each of the vendor stops. Over the next many weeks, we will be adding this content directly to each company's page and database.

In the interim, please don't hesitiaqte to offer any suggestions, comments or concerns. And of course, let us know if you see anything amiss. "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.
