The romantic color of Nonstop Joy Peaches & Dreams (pictured above) is perfect for Mother‘s Day. Impressive, extra large double flowers in warm vanilla, lemon and pink pair easily in mixed containers. The vigorous habit matches the Nonstop Joy Series well and is a must for premium shade basket programs.

Two impressive, bold new colors, Salmon and Violet join the most uniform grandiflora series on the market. Early flowering, and  very uniform, both colors fit the series perfectly. The SUCCESS 360 Series now features 15 bold colors including 2 star varieties. Plants perfectly fill packs — an impressive show from 360°

This compact version of Denver Daisy is outstanding for rack shipping because its full garden height is only 15-24“. Very early, uniform flowering, Pawnee Spirit has impressive golden yellow flowers up to 6” (15 cm) in diameter. Outstanding garden performance. Drought tolerant and an excellent pollinator. Available in BeGreen Pelleted seed

The reliable germination of Chill-Out Blue, a lavandula, makes this consumer favorite much easier to produce. Lavender Chill-Out flowers the first year - no need for cooling. The compact, well-branched habit and intense blue color, make it the perfect pollinator-friendly perennial to add to your program. Highly fragrant, hardy in zones 5a-9a.

Striking, bright bi-color flowers in Coreopsis Chorasan Burgundy & White will grab your customers’ attention. Well branched habit for more blooms at retail. This hardy perennial is ideal for 1 quart pots or larger containers, and provides outstanding color and texture in mixed containers. Hardy in zones 3-9. Cuttings available from Benary+. 

Freshen up your hanging basket program with Leonita Double Blush-Violet. Early to flower, with large, bold, double blooms. The entire Leonita Series has excellent branching and a compact habit, to help you create an outstanding 10” hanging basket program. Also great for 1.5 QT programs.

Season me! Fusions Benary’s versatile combinations of unique, vegetative herbs for added value at retail. Sell in a container, hanging basket or as a decorative set of three pots. Create your own mixes, or use POP for our clever selections like Chillin‘ & Grillin or Oh Crepe! for your in-store events. 

You will notice Dianthus Sugar N’ Spice’s incredible tri-color effect first, but its Sugar N’ Spice’s long bloom time that you will remember. Huge, highly serrated blooms on well-branched plants make a striking show in quart or 1 gallon programs. Great for early spring sales! Cuttings available from Benary
