This is the most uniform and diverse
coleus series in the industry, and
this uniformity offers application
for bench run spring production
and the opportunity to combine
varieties in patio containers.

6. CLEOME SPARKLER
2.0 SERIES
Syngenta Flowers
The Sparkler series has been
improved for 2022, and I have seen
the results of these improvements
9
at multiple trial sites this summer.
The series has compactness, vigor,
uniformity, stronger upright habit
and a prolific flower canopy. The
series has regional limitations
with its high heat and light
requirements to maximize growth
and flower development, but as
the season progresses the series
demonstrates its potential. It will
have outstanding application in
landscapes and as a thriller in
large patio containers. There are
five colors and a mix for 2022, and
liners will be available from multiple
plug suppliers.

It is my view that every plant
series has one variety that is the
prototype and grabs your attention
when you see it in comparison to
the entire series in a landscape
bed or container trial. There were
numerous portulaca varieties
in the container trial, and the
variety 'Pazzaz Nano Hot Pink'
stood out from the crowd with its
bright, large, vibrant, and prolific
flowering with tight internodes and
a compact habit which is indicative
of the series. There are six colors in
the series, including Purple which
is new for 2022. This is a naturally
compact series and flowers early,
expanding the selling window. This
series is outstanding for quart and
mixed container production and
manageable for the consumer in
patio combinations.
8. EVOLVULUS 'BEACH
BUM BLUE'
Dümmen Orange
This variety was a standout
performer in the Arboretum
landscape beds. This new evolvulus
has excellent branching, heat and
drought tolerance, a compact but
spreading habit, textured gray
green foliage, light blue flowers,
and a prolific flower canopy. This
variety will mature at 6 inches and
spread 12 inches. 'Beach Bum Blue'
will tolerate extreme heat in a full
sun exposure, has application in
quarts and mixed containers, and
will make an outstanding border in
landscape sites.
9. PORTULACA 'COLORBLAST
LEMON TWIST'
Westhoff
The ColorBlast portulaca series
is one of the most extensive in
the industry with doubles, solids
and bicolors. This summer the
Arboretum utilized Lemon Twist
in numerous landscape beds,
and it exhibited uniformity, color
coverage, durability, and vibrant
flowers. The flowers are distinctive
with golden yellow centers and
yellow petals with soft white
