Strawberry', with a rose center and dark
throat, and two verbena Lanai varieties,
Strawberry and Twister Red. The two
verbenas, solid-colored Strawberry and
bicolor Twister Red with a red center
and pink blush petals, complement
each other creating an energetic
combination.

7. TRIXI TWINKLE STAR
Selecta One
The Trixis comprise 25 monospecies
combos and 29 multi-species
combos. They were created for earlyand
mid-season production and
offer multiple color schemes. I have
highlighted current Trixis that met
the criteria mentioned earlier, which
included balance, timing, summer
performance, dynamic color patterns
and retail appeal. The components
include bacopa 'Big Falls Pearl', bidens
'Namid Early Yellow' and calibrachoa
'MiniFamous Neo Dark Blue'. The
complementary colors of yellow and
purple make this combination pop, and
the bacopa was flowering prolifically
late into the summer, which is atypical
for many recipes. 'Namid Early Yellow' is
the best variety in the bidens collection
for Trixis with its spreading habit and
larger flowers. 'Neo Dark Blue' offers
one of the most deep and highly
saturated colors in the Neo series.
8. KWIK KOMBO PICOTEE
PASSION MIX
Syngenta Flowers
This is a dynamic and eye-catching
vigorous mid-season combination
consisting of petunia 'Sanguna Picotee
Punch', petunia 'Sanguna White' and
verbena 'Lanai Cyclops Purple'. What
distinguishes this mix and creates vivid
contrast and harmony is the white rim
of the Picotee Punch, the white eye of
the Cyclops Purple and the pure white
Sanguna petals. This Kwik Kombo is an
attention grabber and has strong retail
appeal.

9. TRIXI DOUBLE DATE '21
Selecta One
This new Trixi for 2021 will become a
bestseller based on the performance in
the trials this summer. The components
are calibrachoa 'MiniFamous Neo
Double Dark Blue', 'Neo Double Deep
Yellow' and 'Neo Double Red'. The Neos
are a medium vigor, semi-trailing series
and offer a wide assortment of flower
patterns including solids, bicolors and
doubles. The Neo double flowers were
large, uniform, exhibited similar flower
timing, and manifested color stability
and retention throughout the summer.
The color saturation and brightness
of these primary double flower colors
create a vivid combination.
10. KWIK KOMBO MOM'S
CHOSEN ONE MIX
Syngenta Flowers
This mid-season multi-species mix
combines petunia 'Sanguna Patio
Purple', bidens 'Mexican Gold Jumbo'
and verbena 'Lanai Bright Eye'. The
designer recipe criteria of timing,
uniformity and a floriferous canopy
was conspicuous in this recipe mix.
This bidens has the largest flower in
the series, and combined with its vigor
becomes a significant component in
this mix, as well as in many other Kwik
Kombos. The color coordination of the
purple eye of 'Lanai Bright Eye' and
the intense saturation of Patio Purple
creates a dynamic and high-impact mix.
11. KWIK KOMBO PINK
PRISM MIX
Syngenta Flowers
The combination of the components
calibrachoa 'Callie White', petunia
'Sanguna Lipstick' and verbena 'Lanai
Twister Pink' creates a mellow and
soothing mid-season multi-species
Kwik Kombo. What stands out in this
mix is the power of white to create
maximum reflective light and accent
the Lipstick color of the petunia and
the pink center of Twister Pink. The
trailing Twister series, composed of six
colors, is a major component in many
mid-season Kwik Kombos, and with
its colorful center petals enhances
the color impact and retail appeal of
the mix.
12. KWIK KOMBO IN A JAM MIX
Syngenta Flowers
This mid-season multi species Kwik
Kombo combines calibrachoa 'Callie
Pink with Eye', verbena 'Lanai White
Improved', and Petunia Sanguna Purple.
This combination demonstrates the
reflective power and impact of the pure
white color of the Verbena and the
contrasting intensity it creates with the
different hues of dark pink and purple.
