Abbott-Ipco Inc.
Caladium Pink Splash is a 2012 pink fancy-leaved introduction with green main veins. It has a good pot habit in all pot sizes with or without de-eyeing. Sprouts and finishes quickly, similar to Pink Beauty, but with substantially more pink in the leaves and a more consistent pattern. For more information, contact abbott@abbott-ipco.com.
Danziger “Dan” Flower Farm
Blue Vein is one of the newest in the Littletunia series from Danziger. These miniature-flowered Petunia hybridas are a great alternative to pH-sensitive calibrachoa. Expect a compact, mounded habit with continuous color. They’re also self-cleaning, easy to grow, sun loving and self-maintaining. Littletunias are a fast crop, with one rooted cutting in a 4-in. pot finishing in just 4 weeks. They offer superior center branching for combinations, landscapes and pots. Littletunia Blue Vein features blue petals with striking dark blue veining.
Emerald Coast Growers LLC
Emerald Coast Growers’ flowering grasses program is a great companion program for potted annuals. The program launched with six selections to start, with a range of colors, textures and sizes: Briza maxima, Eragrostis tef Ruby Silk, Lagurus ovatus, Panicum elegans Frosted Explosion, Pennisetum villosum and Melinis nerviglumis Savannah
(pictured). These tender annuals offer a wealth of possibilities for mixed containers, patio pots and window boxes. Fast, easy production adds to their appeal.
AmeriLux International LLC
AmeriLux says their Lexan Thermoclear Plus high-performance sheets are superior to other available polycarbonate multiwall glazing products. Thermoclear Plus offers a 10-year warranty against yellowing and loss of light transmission. These sheets will not display a change in yellowness index of more than 2 delta or lose more than 2% light transmittance over a 10-year period. Thermoclear Plus’ proprietary UV-protection provides long-term optical under intensive sunlight exposure.
DeWitt Company
DeWitt Garden Weed Barrier 100% biodegradable paper mulch is now available in bulk roll sizes for growers. Made from all-natural cellulose fibers, DeWitt Garden Weed Barrier decomposes at the end of the season. This garden mulch effectively eliminates weeds, helps reduce erosion, can moderate soil temperatures, and can be worked into the soil after the growing season. DeWitt Garden Weed Barrier is an environmentally sound and acceptable replacement for plastic mulches and is a natural choice for the environmentally conscious.
Plant Pie Company
Growers and garden centers in the Northeast have discovered Plant Pie has exceeded all expectations. The Pies’ superior rooting system provides fast installation for planters, baskets and beddings. This new transplanting method saves enormous time, labor and clean up. Plants finish faster and perform better in Pies than conventional trays. They’re easy to grow, handle and transport. Plus, consumers love the ease and simplicity of Plant Pie. GT
