CANBY, Ore. – Terra Nova Nurseries, a leader in plant breeding, announced today plans to display new varieties during this year’s California Spring Trials (CAST). The display will be stationed at the Windmill Nursery trials location April 2-4, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and April 5, 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. PST, and will feature exclusive, best-of-breeding varieties bred by Terra Nova Nurseries.
The display will showcase varieties included in Terra Nova Nurseries’ Pro Liner™ program, which enables growers to place orders for 100-cell liners. The program helps the company’s customers reduce total shipping costs and increase inventories at a more rapid pace. In addition to the Pro Liner varieties, Terra Nova Nurseries will be displaying new plant introductions, ranging a wide selection of genera.
The company is redesigning its display and will introduce the new varieties in “function focused groupings.” This will be illustrated by the use of colorful vignettes depicting consumer sales-oriented trends, such as reduced water usage, pollinator attractors and low maintenance. The goal is to help guide CAST visitors how to position products in order to meet consumer demands. Terra Nova Nurseries is also designing many combination planters as a display source of innovative ways to combine plants.
Select varieties on display will include Heuchera FOREVER™ ‘Red’; Heuchera NORTHERN EXPOSURE™ ‘Silver’; Heucherella ‘Onyx’; Echinacea KISMET™ ‘Red’; Echinacea KISMET™ ‘Yellow’; Scrophularia CARDINALE™ ‘Red’; Tanacetum RADIANT™ ‘Deep Pink’; and Lewisia CONSTANT™ ‘Fuchsia’; among others.
“Terra Nova Nurseries is looking forward to being an exhibitor at the 2017 CAST event,” says Nathan Lamkey, director of sales and marketing / assistant general manager for Terra Nova Nurseries. “We have some stunning new plant varieties in store for the growers, brokers and retailers who will visit the Windmill Nursery trials exhibit this year.”
Lamkey will be available for display tours along with Chuck Pavlich, director of new product development; Scott Christy, NA licensing manager; Larry Finley, national sales representative; and Joy Lawrence, sales and business development representative, during the event.
