VAUGHN'S VIEW
performance. The mono species
Piñata Compatible is not new,
but it has been in many regional
trials the past few years and I
believe it is the prototype of the
Cruze Control series. The three
components are calibrachoa Grape
Delicious, Orange and Yellow.
This combination is consistently a
top performer and demonstrates
earliness, which is indicative of the
entire series, exceptional balance,
short internodes, larger flowers
and outstanding heat tolerance.
The series has 19 varieties and
offers a wide palette of colors and
patterns. The calibrachoa market
is teeming with incredible diversity
and a plethora of remarkable
selections, and the Cruze Control
series has risen to the occasion
with an exceptionally durable and
unique class.
3. CONFETTI GARDEN
TIKTOK CLOCKWORKS
Dümmen Orange
The calibrachoa TikTok series
burst onto the market last year with
four multicolored and impactful
varieties: Blue, Grape, Rose and
White. Dümmen Orange offers a
large assortment of calibrachoa
classes featuring solids, bicolors,
multicolors and star patterns. The
TikTok series is a complete new
class with a yellow starburst eye,
dark center and lighter outer petals.
This series grabs your attention
and provides the vigor and flower
power necessary in combinations
and hanging baskets. Four Confetti
Garden TikTok recipes have been
introduced for 2022, Clockworks
(pictured), Star Ship, Time for Fun
and Time for Summer. Clockworks
combines 'TikTok Grape', 'TikTok
Rose' and verbena 'Empress Flair
White', a semi-upright and compact
variety with a controlled habit.
4. TRIXI RASPBERRY
SORBET '22
Selecta One
This multi-species Trixi has
been a bestseller in the program
and has been upgraded for 2022
with a more compact, earlier
and controlled habit, which was
evident in the trial. This designer
combination consists of calibrachoa
'MiniFamous Neo White', petunia 'Starlet
Magenta Star' and verbena 'Blues
Magenta+Eye'. What distinguishes this
Trixi from many other recipes is the
texture, the contrasting and vibrant
colors, and the white eye of the Neo
White, which accentuates the white
throat of the Blues Magenta+Eye.
