Costa Farms Season Premiere Offers a Look Ahead at Hot Plants for 2022

Posted by Brian Sparks|March 24, 2021

Costa Farms’ Season Premiere in Miami, FL, is always a fun way to kick off the year and prepare for spring. This year, the company opened its Trial Garden in early March 4-5 to brokers, growers, and other members of the industry for an opportunity to preview 2022 new plant varieties.

The Trial Garden hosted genetics from leading plant breeders from around the world. In addition to new plant varieties in-ground, Costa Farms is also growing them out in containers as they appear in garden centers.

Of course, the COVID-19 pandemic eliminated travel as an option for many attendees this year. Fortunately, Costa Farms is offering several ways to take a virtual look at new varieties coming down the pipeline, starting with the Season Premiere website. From there, interested growers and other industry members can check out:
