VARIETY INFORMATION
Snapdragon 'Potomac Red Improved'
Snapdragon 'Potomac Dark Pink'
Lisianthus
Arosa
SNAPDRAGON
PanAmerican Seed has two new
snapdragons for 2022. 'Potomac Dark
Pink' is a summer-flowering variety
that replaces' Potomac Rose'. Dark
Pink is faster to bloom than the Rose
and is scheduled to bloom with the
same crop time as the other Potomac
snapdragons. The entire Potomac series
works great in a tunnel or greenhouse, but
also works well in field production.
The other new snapdragon is
'Potomac Red Improved' - a
true red snapdragon for summer
greenhouse or field production.
Snapdragons are a standard cut
flower crop that can be scheduled to bloom
year-round by selecting the correct Group
number in relation to the expected bloom
time. Potomac Snapdragons are Group
3 or 3 to 4, and best suited for blooming
during the longer, warmer days of Summer.
The Potomac series now comprises
13 colors, providing a color for every
occasion.
LISIANTHUS
New in the world of Lisianthus is
'Arosa 3 Red' and 'Arosa 3 Deep Pink' from
the Japanese lisianthus breeder Sumika.
'Arosa 3 Red' is one of the few red lisianthus
that is a true red. Arosa lisianthus produce
multiple flowers on each stem, creating a
full, lush look to bouquets. The flowers are
a little smaller than most lisianthus but have
the look and style of spray roses.

Also new from Sumika are 'Celeb 2
Lavender' and 'Celeb 2 Apricot' with large,
double ruffled petals, and 'Elegance 3
Snow' with pure white flowers perfect for
bridal bouquets. Sumika produces over
175 lisianthus varieties. First introduced
to North America in 2020, Ball Seed is the
exclusive distributor of Sumika lisianthus
seed in North America. Plugs of Sumika
lisianthus varieties are available from
several plug producers.
FINAL THOUGHTS
Cut flower growers should always be
looking for new variety introductions
to add to the product mix. Being able
to supply your market with the newest,
improved varieties can help make you
stand out in what can sometimes be a
crowded market.
* The first step is selecting the right
varieties to grow.
* Step two is growing the highest quality
possible.
* Step three is making sure you sell what
you grow.
Most people don't think about it this way,
but cut flower growers will never make any
money growing cut flowers. All the income
and profit is from selling cut flowers. What
will you be adding to your crop list for a
successful selling season?
