visited the Costa Premiere spring
trial during week nine to evaluate
the new annuals for 2023-24 and
highlighted many of the unique, floriferous
and dynamic introductions from that
visit in recent articles. In week 18, I
returned to the trial to view and evaluate
the combination recipe baskets and
perennial introductions with a focus on the recipe
combinations in the basket trial.
Fourteen international flower breeders entered
material in the trial consisting of 84 unique,
colorful recipes. Two of each basket recipe,
consisting of six to nine liner components, were
planted in two-gallon fiber containers weeks 49
and 50 in the greenhouse and moved to the trial
site week seven. The condition and maturity of the
baskets on week 18 is similar in performance to the
northern trials in late August and early September.
The environmental conditions during the
spring season in Florida were extreme, with
high temperatures, high humidity and excessive
rain. The baskets I chose to include consisted
of current, new and experimental combinations
that demonstrated durability, color stability,
balance, uniform timing, component compatibility,

floriferousness, and enduring weather tolerance.
These multiple attributes will provide the consumer
with a designer recipe that will achieve the goal of
long season performance and ultimate success.
1. PETCHOA SUPERCAL RISING
COMBINATION
Sakata
This experimental recipe incorporates 'SuperCal
Yellow Sun,' 'SuperCal Sunset Orange' and the
new 'SuperCal Premium Red Maple' for 2024.
I highlighted the vibrance, color stability and
prolific flower canopy of 'SuperCal Premium
Red Maple' in my April Costa article. This new
petchoa SuperCal Premium selection with reddish
tones is a dynamic component, which creates
a complementary combination of warm colors
that generate energy and excitement. Numerous
articles I have written over the years on the
exceptional performance of breeder recipes in
summer trials have highlighted assorted petchoa
SuperCal combinations. The multiple attributes
include heat and cold tolerance, large flowers,
quick rain recovery, mounded habit and unique
colors that have application for spring, summer
and fall seasons.
