During last year’s annual trial, these breeding breakthroughs obtained an outstanding score in innovation, beauty and garden performance, and convinced our judges to award the coveted Gold Medal.
Coreopsis tinctoria – Corusco Cream-Red – Van Hemert & Co.
Corusco Cream-Red is suited for both professional production and home gardening. Growers will appreciate this seed-raised Coreopsis for its cost-effective and sustainable production process as it can be grown in small pot sizes at low temperatures. Retail will marvel over its sparkling colour combination which will surely stand out on the benches. Corusco Cream-Red not only performs well in containers on the patio, but also looks spectacular in beds and fields. Home gardeners will be amazed by this Coreopsis tinctoria that brings colour to the garden early in the season, attracts pollinators and needs little water.
Lobelia erinus F1 – Masterpiece Blue with Eye – Benary
Growers will appreciate the flexibility in ordering compared to cuttings, fast delivery and attractive price of this seed-raised Lobelia. Sowing is easy thanks to the availability of pelleted seeds. With a short crop time of only 12-14 weeks and a very early flowering habit, Masterpiece Blue with Eye enables a maximal growing capacity in the greenhouse. The compact plants are easy to ship and save space on the trolley. Retail appreciates the larger flowers in the key colour, over the pot and container sizes. Consumers will love this variety because of the excellent heat tolerance, impressive summer performance regardless of the weather conditions and versatile use in beds, pots and mixed containers.
