Fleuroselect presents the latest trends in bedding for 2016
A Gold Medal is awarded to a genuine innovation in breeding. These new varieties excel in innovation, floriferousness, flowering season and overall appearance. The 2016 Gold Medals are great garden performers and represent the latest breeding breakthroughs for bedding.
Calamintha nepeta Marvelette Blue - Van Hemert & Co
This compact Calamintha has large, striking, purple-blue flowers, produced in profusion on upright spikes above the foliage. This first-year flowering perennial flowers within 12 weeks from a spring sowing and will bring blue to the garden all summer long. This garden performer makes a great filler in sunny borders, but can also be used as an edging for walks.
Cosmos bipinnatus Xanthos - Van Hemert & Co
Xanthos means yellow in Greek and that’s what this new Cosmos bipinnatus is all about. Xanthos is dwarf and early flowering. This rich-flowering Cosmos is ideally suited for the patio and terrace and is an eye catcher in the border. Xanthos adds a completely new color to the compact Cosmos range.
Echinacea purpurea Feeling Pink - HM.Clause
This new addition to commercial Echinacea is a good garden performer with numerous flowers that also continue to perform in tough conditions such as wind, heat and dry soil. Blooming from May-June until September-October, the flowers attract bees and other insects and are also suitable for cutting.
Helenium autumnale Western Mixture - HM.Clause
Helenium autumnale Western Mixture has a yellow-red glow from summer until the very end of autumn. This highly floriferous perennial is dwarf, compact and early flowering. Thanks to its true branching habit, Western Mixture offers yellow, red and bicolor red/yellow flowers.
Ocimum basilicum Purple Ball - NARIC Fruitculture Research Institute
Ocimum basilicum Purple Ball displays a ball form in purple basil. This aromatic annual has small purple leaves and small, tubular purple flowers. Purple Ball thrives in sunny, warm weather and is drought resistant.
