During the FlowerTrials from June 10–13, Walter Blom Plants will present three highly promising new cultivars: Hemerocallis ‘Stella’, Verbascum ‘Peach Champagne’, and Polemonium ‘Violet Eye’.
These introductions mark the company’s 15th anniversary, celebrating its growth into a leading specialist in perennials and shrubs through tissue culture, plugs, and (unrooted) cuttings.
The new varieties stand out for their flowering power, ease of cultivation, and strong commercial potential:
- Hemerocallis ‘Stella’: A compact daylily (approx. 35 cm) with continuous flowering from May to October in three vibrant colours. Ideal for container production and highly resilient under variable climate conditions.
- Verbascum ‘Peach Champagne’: A reimagined Verbascum with peach-coloured flower spikes and a soft pink heart. Fast-growing with minimal input, reaching maturity in 10–12 weeks and guaranteed to bloom 100%.
- Polemonium ‘Violet Eye’: An innovative selection featuring finely feathered lilac-toned foliage and crisp white flowers with a striking violet centre. Early and profuse blooming, mildew-resistant, and reliably hardy.
Visitors are welcome at Kolster’s location (Rijneveld 122a, Boskoop), where Walter Blom Plants will exhibit alongside Kolster and HOKO Breeding. Explore the extensive nursery and enjoy unique food and drinks, while gaining insights from plant breeding experts.
