Varieties In The Pipeline
Tradewinds osteospermum series - 5 colors
Require less vernalization, bloom more consistently through heat. Flowers don't close during shipping
Nirvana vinca - 8 upright, 4 trailing
First truly disease resistant vinca on the market - exceptional heat performance. All seed produced vincas died in trials. All Nirvana vinca, bred by Goldsmith, survived and looked great. This is the second vegetative vinca on the market. One introduced a few years ago didn't do well.
Sassy argyranthemum - White
Techno lobelia
Intense blue. Seed lobelia usually burns up in mid-summer while vegetative lobelia keeps blooming.
Compact Sonics - 11 colors
Flower size is larger than any other compact New Guinea impatiens. Outdoor performance is as good as Sonics. Plants will stay more compact. Technical people who normally favor Paradise picked compact Sonics over Paradise in trials.
Darla diascia - 5 colors, clear
Butterfly impatiens
Two times larger than Firefly. One of a kind, interspecific, vigorous grower.
The Tradewinds, Sassy and Techno introductions are available now and culture sheets are all on the Web site and downloadable,
