Growers are looking for ways to save time, money and still bring unique varieties to the market<\/strong><\/h3>\nCAST 2019<\/a> saw garden trade enthusiasts and experts from around the globe converging at displays throughout the state of California. Nearly one thousand visitors stopped by Danziger\u2019s California Spring Trials 2019 display in Gilroy to see the new varieties for 2020. \u201cEvery year, at CAST and at other trade events in North America, we learn more about what our customers need, the challenges they face and the opportunities they\u2019re looking to take advantage of,\u201d says Ori Danziger, deputy CEO at Danziger. \u201cThis year was no exception. We take what we learn and use the information to drive solutions for our customers.\u201d<\/p>\nThe 2019 Danziger display focused on highlighting grower solutions and providing specific information on plant usage. \u201cOur mission is to develop inspiring plants that deliver top-notch performance for the grower and the home gardener,\u201d adds Danziger. \u201cWe\u2019re working hard to make growing our varieties easier and more profitable.\u201d<\/p>\n
Growers are looking for a petunia that performs well in propagation with minimal intervention.<\/strong><\/h3>\nDanziger\u2019s CAPELLA\u2122\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Petunia series turned heads at CAST, and not just because of the striking new colors like Neon Pink, Baby Pink, and Ruby Red. Growers say they love CAPELLA\u2122<\/strong> because it meets all their growing needs:[\/vc_column_text]<\/p>\n\n- Performs well in propagation<\/li>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\nGrowers are looking for varieties that look good in quarts with little or no PGR use.<\/strong><\/h3>\nDanziger is bringing easy-care color back with the VANESSA\u2122<\/strong>\u00a0Compact verbena series. This new compact series stays compact with minimal PGR use, providing excellent color in quarts. Just like Danziger\u2019s VANESSA\u2122<\/strong> series, VANESSA\u2122<\/strong> Compact<\/a> is tested for mildew tolerance and cycling of color. Through extensive breeding work and testing around the globe, both series show excellent mildew resistance. But, the most exciting attribute may be that both VANESSA\u2122<\/strong> and VANESSA\u2122<\/strong> Compact won\u2019t cycle out of flower. Each color in the series was tested for bloom cycling. The plants consistently push out new blooms to ensure long-lasting color, creating retail sizzle with big color in quarts, and stunning hanging baskets.<\/p>\n![\"CAST](\"https:\/\/danzigeronline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_3050-225x300.jpg\")

Novelties Need to Really Deliver<\/strong><\/h3>\nNovelty petunias were on display at just about every CAST location, but Danziger was the only one to have Elvis singing the praises of AMORE\u2122<\/strong>\u00a0petunias. The surprise visit by the King of Rock and Roll kicked off the start of the Spring Trials event, highlighting the newest variety in the unique petunia series, AMORE\u2122<\/strong> King of Hearts.<\/a> \u00a0This stable, uniform series features shopper-stopping blooms with five heart shapes. Growers told us they like the fact that AMORE\u2122<\/strong> fits well with any petunia program. The AMORE\u2122<\/strong> series<\/a> is well matched in flowering response, so it creates outstanding retail displays. \u201cHome gardeners are gravitating toward novelty petunias now more than ever,\u201d says Danziger. \u201cThe heart shapes in the blooms of AMORE\u2122<\/strong> really capture attention and drive sales.\u201d<\/p>\nChoosing the Right Variety for the Right Performance<\/strong><\/h3>\nGrowers told us they\u2019re looking for varieties that can deliver performance that is specific to their program needs. \u201cMatching the correct variety for hanging baskets or quart production is key,\u201d says Danziger. \u201cWe\u2019ve focused our calibrachoa breeding work to match each series to a program need.\u201d One series that stands out is Danziger\u2019s LIA\u2122<\/strong>\u00a0Calibrachoa<\/a>. LIA\u2122<\/strong> was bred for use in hanging baskets and larger combos. LIA\u2122<\/strong> is an early flowering series with noticeably bigger blooms. It shows good vigor, enabling it to keep up with petunias in a hanging basket. Two new colors join the series for 2020 – LIA\u2122<\/strong> Dark Red<\/a> features clear, deep-red blooms. LIA\u2122<\/strong> Glaze<\/a> is a perfect, clear white. There are four existing colors in the series including Bubblegum, Yellow, Melon, and Blue.<\/p>\nNot Your Grandmother\u2019s Variety<\/strong><\/h3>\nOur breeder\u2019s passion to improve a favorite variety led to Goldstar<\/a>\u2122<\/strong>. This is definitely not the Jamesbrittenia of long ago. Goldstar\u2122<\/strong> is well behaved and has enhanced resistance to foliage disease. It\u2019s also day-neutral and extremely heat tolerant. Growers that visited CAST told us they liked the way it was performing in combos. The sunny-yellow blooms go with everything, making it a go-to variety for any hanging basket or combination.<\/p>\nIf you missed our display at California Spring Trials 2019, or maybe just want to take another look, you can!
