#Calibrochoa supercal series trial

The plants were exposed to light frost, cool night temperatures and excessive rain for two weeks and continued to grow, develop excellent lateral branching, and flower early and profusely. This was one of my first container plantings this spring in early April.

#Calibrochoa supercal series trial

The attributes I have seen in the CannonBall series in the trials are consistent with my container trial at home. The purple and burgundy colors are enhanced by the reflective power of white creating an impactful combination. This multi-species sun combination has been improved and upgraded for next year with the new petunia вЂCannonBall PurpleвЂ™ replacing вЂSunSpun BurgundyвЂ™ and complementing the current components verbena вЂFirehouse PurpleвЂ™ and calibrachoa вЂCabaret WhiteвЂ™. Many of the recipes are new for 2022, and those that I have chosen to highlight were based on my early visit on week 21. One salient feature of these combinations is the introduction of new and improved varieties every year, which upgrades and improves the vibrancy and stability of the flowers, as well as overall presentation and summer performance.

The unrooted cuttings were stuck week 9, transplanted week 12 into 12-inch containers, and moved to the trial garden week 16. There were over 140 breeder recipes in the container trial. There are additional criteria when considering designer recipes: timing, color theory, uniformity and component balance.

The performance criteria of the trial entries includes flower number, flower quality, vigor, uniformity, heat tolerance, and insect and disease resistance. The plants are trialed in raised beds, garden planters, hanging baskets and landscape beds. I look forward to attending the YoungвЂ™s Plant Farm well-organized, diverse, and comprehensive trial in late May and again in August every year.
