Notable new varieties to be introduced at CAST 2023 by Syngenta Flowers:

Calliope Medium White Splash Interspecific Geranium is the best-selling interspecific geranium series for medium sized pots and premium retail programs. This year, a stunning White Splash variety joins the series. With a wide range of colors, including unique novelties, Calliope Medium is a one-stop option for building the ideal geranium program.

Talavera is a new series of Coleus featuring sun tolerant varieties that maintain color and foliage patterns in both sun and shade conditions. It features late flowering selections for tidy, non-bolting plants in the garden.

Madinia Petite Dipladenia has all the benefits for grower efficiency — early flowering, less PGRs, no vining and high-density production in small pots. Beautiful tropical flowers on a compact habit along with less garden maintenance will keep consumers smiling all summer long.

New for 2023, the Adora begonia series boasts striking dark foliage and masses of petite double flowers. Its well branched, mounded habits work across a range of container sizes and thrive in both sun and shade applications.

Itsy Pink is the newest addition to the Itsy petunia series. With exceptional color coverage and good vigor, Itsy is a great option for both landscape and containers. Tons of tiny flower blooms form a blanket of color providing undeniable retail appeal.
