Spring Collection — 2004 Introductions
Supertunia®
Petunia hybrida
Supertunia® is a long time favorite of growers and gardeners. They’re virtually maintenance free and bloom continuously throughout the season. They have large blossoms that attract butterflies and hummingbirds. This year Proven Winners is introducing one great new variety: ‘Supertunia® Lemon Plume’. The soft yellow color is new to the Supertunia® line. It will look best in landscapes or combination planters because its habit is slightly more upright than the other Supertunias®. Production will be similar to the rest of the line. Now available in 10 great colors: ‘Supertunia® Blushing Princess’, ‘Supertunia® Giant Pink’, ‘Supertunia® Lavender Morn’, ‘Supertunia® Lavender Pink’, ‘Supertunia® Lemon Plume’, ‘Supertunia® Mystic Pink’, ‘Supertunia® Red’, ‘Supertunia® Royal Magenta’, ‘Supertunia® Royal Velvet’, and ‘Supertunia® White’.
Intensia(TM)
Phlox hybrid
Intensia(TM) Phlox was bred in Japan and has unique, new genetics. These vigorous, spreading plants are great in hanging baskets, pots, larger combination containers, and the landscape. The 1" flowers completely cover the plants. This is another new Genus for the Proven Winners line and we are sure that gardeners will love these plants. They are cold tolerant and will be perennial in the south. For producers it will be easiest to grow these varieties in 5" pots or larger. Intensia comes in 3 great colors: ‘Intensia(TM) Lavender Glow’, ‘Intensia(TM) Lilac Rose’, and ‘Intensia(TM) Neon Pink’.
Whirlwind(TM) White
Scaevola hybrid
Gardeners love the unique fan shaped flowers and garden performance of Scaevola. These heat and drought tolerant plants have great summer performance despite the high temperatures experienced during the summer in much of the country. Many gardeners already grow the original favorite blue variety ‘New Wonder’ and now there is a great new white variety to try too. ‘Whirlwind(TM) White’ is free flowering and vigorous with medium sized white blooms and is best in combination planters and landscapes although mono-crop baskets are also a good bet.
