We agree with Delilah Onofrey, who handles marketing for Suntory, that it will be excellent in baskets and containers for cause-marketing campaigns supporting Armed Service members. This new variety brings another heart-shaped center to the series.

Bee’s Knees is a stand-alone, not part of a series We love the name, too!-easily remembered long after you first see its vivid flowers. Medium vigor, they say, with “terrific” garden performance. It’s the richest, deepest yellow you’ll find on a vegetative petunia. Best of all, Royal Velvet Improved retains the same rich color of the best-seller it’s replacing. The improvement is for a tighter, less-stringy habit, better branching and more flowers, and earliness. 1 best seller, we’re making an exception. Normally, we don’t bother with improvements in our Spring Trials coverage, but since this just happens to be Proven Winners' No. Petunia Supertunia Royal Velvet Improved (Proven Winners) Hot Pink is going to replace Neon Pink, as it’s been bred for better heat and drought tolerance- improvements the whole line has been getting. It’s a new color for the series, we were told. Rose Glow truly does seem to glow, even in photographs. The series gets two additions, both to the “Compact” sub-series. SunPatiens are now in their 15th year, which, to us, gives them the official classification of “venerable”-meaning been around long enough to have earned respect. SunPatiens Compact Hot Pink, Compact Rose Glow (Sakata) Find continuing coverage of Spring Trials in the August issue where we’ll feature perennials, shrubs and anything else that we noticed on our second pass through our notes. Wait! That’s not all! Despite a non-traditional 2020 CAST, GrowerTalks is finding plenty to write and report on. In the pages ahead, you’ll see genetic innovations, color breakthroughs, production problem solvers and plenty of hot new crops to take your greenhouse game to the next level.

Your four editors did Zoom interviews with nearly every Trial exhibitor, asking the same questions we would have in person: What’s new? Who is it for? What makes it stand out? What’s it compare to? Is there seed in the bag? The following is the end result of our nearly two weeks of interviews. GrowerTalks was front and center (with notepads in hand) at our computers just a week after the actual event was scheduled to take place to capture the essence of the event and learn about the latest and greatest coming to your greenhouses in 2021.

Although the live event was cancelled amidst concerns for the safety and wellness of visitors because of COVID-19, the California Spring Trials-the industry’s most important showcase of new plant varieties-continued on anyway, with leading breeders and plant introduction companies taking advantage of the Internet and creative digital ways to introduce hundreds of new annuals, perennials and more to the industry.
