Hundreds of new annual varieties debut every year, so how does a grower or retailer know which are best to grow? We asked Dennis Crum, Director of Growing Operations, for his favorites in the Proven Winners® Class of 2019. Here are his recommendations.
“At Four Star, we both propagate and finish for retail-ready millions of plants, and I evaluate all the varieties. For ‘must-haves,’ I look for plants with the biggest impact,” says Crum.
Well-known classics like Supertunia®, Superbells®, Superbena® and others have earned their popularity by having outstanding beauty and garden performance, as well as continued demand from consumers. For instance, Crum notes that Supertunia alone are usually near 20% of Four Star’s finished Grande™ production.
