An independent panel of more than 30 expert judges from across the industry, including breeders, young plant producers, growers, distributors, trade representatives and journalists choose the winner with the 'wow' effect at point of sale.
On June 15, the winner will be announced at the FlowerTrials location of Beekenkamp.
