Spring Trials

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.
