EDITOR'S LETTER
What's New for '22
It's so fun to keep up with
trends in horticulture - whether
it's growing tomatoes upside
down or new plant cultivars bred
for improvements.
And when the new year's new
varieties are announced and plant
samples start shipping, it feels
like Christmas day.
Here are a few trends I noticed
among the samples I received this spring:
Speckled Petunias Continue to Make a Splash
The Danziger 'Splash Dance Poppin' Pink'
petunia (photo, left) has a nice contrast of
magenta and creamy white, and is perfect for
my hanging baskets.
Selecta One's 'Headliner Enchanted Sky'
petunia's blooms have a white star and
speckles on a purpley-pink background.
Cool and Colorful Calibrachoa
Danziger's 'Eyeconic Cherry Blossom' and 'Eyeconic Pink'
have a yellow throat that contrasts nicely
with the deep pink centers and pink petals.
Dümmen Orange added to its Tik Tok series
with 'Tik Tok Grape' (photo, left). The purple and
yellow pattern resembles the hands of a clock.
Tasty Patio Veggies on the Menu
Burpee's 'Patio Delight' F1 tomato is recommended for
containers only, as it only gets 12 to 18 inches tall.
Burpee's 'Demon Red' hot pepper can grow in a patio
container or in the ground. Its height tops out at 12 to 16
inches, with a spread of 16 to 20 inches.
Pollinator Paradises Prevail
Dümmen Orange's salvia 'Hummingbird Falls' might
just make my hummingbird feeders obsolete. The trailing,
hanging basket salvia has vivid blue blooms on dark calyces
sure to attract the little birds.
Proven Winners' helianthus 'Suncredible Yellow' has the
sunshine-yellow petals you'd expect, but with
a russet red ring around the center. Bees and
butterflies are attracted to it.
Butterflies and bees also flock to Selecta
One's 'MiniFamous Neo Double Orangetastic'
calibrachoa (photo, left), which provides
single and double blooms and double bicolors.
For these and more, I'll provide updates from my home
garden on our social media accounts. Not following us? Find
