Begonia I’Conia Miss Milan: Fill your premium basket needs with the newest addition to the Begonia I’Conia series. Miss Milan gives fully double, Peach Fuzz-colored blooms, set on longer stems, and pop against dark-green, serrated leaves. Works equally well in both full sun and partial shade.
Coleus Down Town Port Fairy: For multi-toned foliage items for combo containers, look no further than the lime and lemon-colored Down Town Port Fairy. Its smaller habit and uniquely serrated leaves pair well with annuals of all types. It has outstanding branching and medium vigor.
New Guinea Impatiens Roller Coaster Hot Magenta: This new color in the Roller Coaster series of New Guinea Impatiens will add a pop of color in shaded locations. Like the rest of the series, its unique ruffled petals create an almost three-dimensional look.
Scaevola Scala Cappello White: This new sub series within Scala amplifies heat and drought tolerance for scaevola. Fan-shaped flowers shine in three colors — Purple, Blue and White — on well-branching plants with a medium bushy and upright habit.
Verbena Empress Sun Kiss White: This brand-new verbena series defies expectations when it comes to heat and humidity tolerance. All four colors in the series (Blue, White, Red and Pink) possess a mounding habit with a compact-medium vigor. An excellent item for summer holiday promotions.
Petunia Potunia+ Black Satin (Intrinsa): The Potunia+ line of petunias receives a magical addition with Black Satin. Not only is the deeply dark color alluring for consumers, but its TMV resistance provided by Intrinsa is a welcome bonus for growers. Another plus for growers — Potunia+’s bubble-shaped mounding habit.
Buddleja Little Rockstars Red: The new Little Rockstars Buddleja series is proof that great things come in small packages. The compact plants are adorned with lots of beautiful cone-shaped blooms. It looks like a floral bouquet all season long! Zones 5-9.
Delosperma Solstice Yellow: The new Solstice Series shines as bright as the sun. The center is a warm and glowing sun-like yellow, with each variety surrounded by can’t-miss-at-retail, highlighter-style colors. What makes the Solstice series unique is the large size of those flowers. Zones 6-9.
Erysimum Intense Brilliance: The new Intense series of Erysimum brings bigger blooms and brighter colors to this category. The flowers of all four Intense varieties sparkle above the medium-green foliage. A compact plant, each variety packs a punch with intense flower color and fragrance. Zones 6-9.
Dianthus Cliff Pink Spot: The new Cliff series offers consumers some of the brightest dianthus colors on the market. Pink Spot has a beautiful single flower and has the added perk of beautiful silvery foliage, allowing those bright blooms to pop even more. Zones 4-9.
Dianthus Pemán Red: Pemán Red is the late-flowering Dianthus customers are looking for. Covered with a multitude of stop sign-red flowers, this compact variety deserves a front-of-the-border placement due to its great landscape performance. Zones 4-9.
