Magnum, Stardust Series The Discussion At Dömmen
April 15, 2010 
The flowers on Dömmen’s new Magnum New Guinea impatiens series aren’t just big–they’re enormous. And six varieties in the series debuted this week at Edna Valley Vineyards in San Luis Obispo, including New Guinea impatiens like ‘Magnum Fire’ and ‘Magnum White Blush.’
“Magnum is a large-flowering variety that’s very vigorous,” says Dömmen’s Perry Wismans. “We don’t recommend it for 1-inch but it’s good in 5- or 6-inch [containers].”
Other colors in the series are:
–Blue
–Lavender
–Salmon; and
–Peach
Dömmen’s other series introduction, Stardust, kicks off with three varieties, including ‘White Sparkle,’ a low-growing, compact euphorbia. Little green was visible in the ‘White Sparkle’ on hand at the Dömmen trial. Compared to another Dömmen euphorbia showcased, ‘Silver Fog,’ the newer euphorbia featured twice as many, if not more, flowers.
Other Stardust varieties are ‘Pink Glitter’ and ‘Pink Shimmer.’
