There’s nothing quite as nice as having a little bit of living color indoors. Blooming potted plants are ideal for brightening up interior spaces, and they make great container plants for a pop of color on the patio or deck. They’re also the perfect gift plant. We asked breeders to give you a peek at some of the great blooming potted plants they’re introducing this year at California Spring Trials. These new varieties offer long bloom times, good branching, and excellent vigor and uniformity. Look for them to show up on the retail market in 2018.
