Notable new varieties to be introduced at CAST 2022 by Beekenkamp:

DAHLIA LaBella Medio Fun Pink Flame is a great new introduction with a beautiful blend of pink and white bicolor blooms. It has a very stable pattern and the bright contrast of the blooms to foliage makes this one of our Beekenkamp’s favorites in the line. Ideal for quarts to 5-inch pots.

DAHLIA LaBella Grande Fun Red White is perfect for the gallon that only needs 1 pinched liner. This stable, stunning introduction features bold bicolor blooms and the perfect pattern to add as a thriller for patriotic summer planters. LaBella Grande Fun Red White creates the WOW factor all season long.

A popular, great garden performer, the DAHLIA LaBella Maggiore series gets an addition with Fun Chocolate Yellow. Unique in its segment; a lot of big filled yellow blooms with incredible dark leaves, which turn into nearly black the more sunlight it gets. No requirement for any PGRs, which makes it an economic crop for the producer. Ideal for the 8–10-inch pot, one liner and one pinch only.

Kalanchoe Bongo 37 is not just your usual Kalanchoe — this is the Bongo Kalanchoe with its outstanding variegated foliage. Perfect for indoor use and succulent garden bowls with easy, year-round production. Do not grow it as a “normal” Kalanchoe, as it has no need for short day treatments. Good for quart–6-inch production.
