Green Fuse Botanicals
A breeding breakthrough in rex begonias brings the Dibs series. Their incredibly strong vigor not only eliminates weeks of crop time for the grower, but also ensures consumer garden and container success. Their brightly colored leaf patterns glow in even the heaviest of shade.

Constant Cadence Milk Cherry is a combination in every plant. Their double, fragrant blossoms will open pure white, then they harden to deep rose and finally dark red. Their daylength neutrality and zero cooling requirement means they are not only a great spring performer, but bring a completely new, hassle-free element to the holiday season production.

The new Chestnut Gold boasts huge bi-colored flowers on a sturdy chassis. The daylength neutrality of this Rudbeckia hirta turns a traditionally late summer retail item into a year-round plant.

The first-ever multi-bract Spanish Lavender easily grabs retail attention. The Lavish series produces an abundance of massive blooms extremely early, lengthening the sales window.
