This year's FleuroStar winner will again be chosen during the FlowerTrials at eight locations in both The Netherlands and Germany. Benary, Selecta Klemm, Syngenta Flowers and Volmary have all entered varieties into this prestigious contest for innovative bedding plant introductions.
Fleuroselect is delighted to introduce the FleuroStar Entries for 2012/2013:
Begonia boliviensis 'Santa Cruz Sunset', Dianthus cultivars 'Pink Kisses', Thunbergia alata 'Arizona Glow' and Verbena x hybrida 'Lanai Twister Red'.
Each of these wonderful plants has a unique quality making it a worthy FleuroStar Entry. But which flower shows the strongest 'WOW' effect and is most likely to woo the consumer at the point of sale? Which plant will be the rightful successor of last year's FleuroStar winner Fragaria 'Toscana'?
Come and judge for yourself at one of the eight FleuroStar Competition areas located at Benary, Combinations-Fleuroselect, Dümmen, Fides, Florensis, Grünewald, PanAmerican Seed/Kieft-Pro-Seeds and Sakata Ornamentals. To visit, please register at www.flowertrials.nl.
