offer uniformity, compactness,
outstanding heat tolerance,
distinctive bicolor flowers and a
colorful canopy. This is a highperforming,
long-lasting nemesia
series with application in patio
containers and designer mixes.
13. PORTULACA 24/7 SERIES
Green Fuse Botanicals
Green Fuse Botanicals continues
to expand its novelty annual
vegetative program with portulaca
24/7 for 2022. This series comprises
five colors: Fuchsia, Orange, Red,
White and Yellow with grandiflora
type habit and foliage. Features
of this series include daylength
neutrality, 3-inch fully double flowers
and compactness. The breeder
has stated that the flowers never
close, and that was demonstrated
in the trial. The plants were open
and colorful when I viewed the
plants early in the morning and
later in the evening. This series will
have application in quarts, mixed
containers and baskets.

the Pazzaz series years ago, which
was followed by the Nanos, the
bicolored Campinos, and for 2022
the Mega Pazzaz series. There was
a soft launch for 2021, but this
series will get increased attention
for 2022 based on the large
flowers, floriferousness, flower
duration and colorful canopy. The
colors were consistent in the bed,
and Gold was a standout in the
Costa trial for flower size, flower
production, canopy coverage, vigor
and habit. The series matures at
16 inches and will have application
in quarts, gallons, baskets, and
landscape beds.

introduction of various hues, tones
and tints of yellow petunias the past
few years has been consequential
and significant. In light of these
genetic improvements in yellow
petunias from multiple breeders,
Danziger has upgraded 'Ray
Sunshine'. 'Ray Sunshine' is a top
seller in the Ray series, and the
improvements to this variety include
a deeper shade of yellow in the
throat and a slightly more mounded
habit to match the entire series.
The Rays are a core petunia series
in many spring programs with 15
diverse color patterns, and they
offer uniformity, a mounded habit,
and earliness. This is a versatile
series with production application in
quarts, gallons, patio containers and
hanging baskets.
16. PETUNIA 'SANGUNA
BANANA CANDY'
Syngenta Flowers
The new 'Sanguna Banana Candy'
was one of the most colorful,
bright and vibrant petunias in the
trial beds. This variety manifested
the attributes we expect from the
Sanguna series with large flowers,
strong growth habit and prolific
flowering. The grandiflora flowers
have a light tawny gold throat and
dark yellow petals that manifested
stability, floriferousness and vigor in
the trial bed. The Sanguna series is
trailing, large flowering, composed
of 21 diverse colors, and is the
foundation in many Kwik Kombos.
This introduction is a timely and a
significant addition to the Syngenta
Sanguna series.
17. SNAPDRAGON
STATEMENT SERIES
American Takii
We have seen the introduction
of many outstanding dwarf
snapdragons, and American Takii is
not new to snapdragon breeding with
multiple series in its annual portfolio.
This name matched the performance
of the colors in the Costa trial, as
the series made a statement in the
trial bed with uniformity, consistent
flower timing, basal branching and
a multitude of large vibrant flowers.
It is composed of five colors: Pink,
Rose, Scarlet, White and Yellow. We
have many excellent choices in the
dwarf Snapdragon class, and this
series, based on this early spring
trial, deserves consideration in future
production programs.
Quick Lead Time!
