As an official start to the new bedding plants season, Petunia ‘Sternschnuppe’ (”Shooting Star”) was presented as Plant of the Year 2016 from the Horticultural Society in Rhineland-Palatinate in southwest Germany.
President Volker Schmitt and his college Ralf Schupp presented the Petunia to the travelers. They were assisted by the Wine Queen Julia Kren and the Queen of Almond Blossoms Katharina Schupp.
Petunia ‘Sternschnuppe’ is a combination of the Petunia varieties ‘Pink Star’ and ‘Violet Star’ from Kientzler Young Plants. Both varieties are part of the international Proven Winners-assortment and were chosen as plant of the year 2016 due to their outstanding weather resistance and flowering performance.
