2015 California Spring Trials Review
We’re back from the California Spring Trials and we can’t wait to share
what’s new for 2016 with you! There were plenty of new varieties and some
exciting color additions to a few of our favorite series this year. We’ve also
included some colorful combos and eye-catching display ideas.
We hope you enjoy the highlights from our trip!
- The Plant Connection Team
Spring Trials represents the genesis of Floriculture and the Horticulture industries.
It is an annual event where the world’s prominent breeders, growers, educators,
brokers, marketing professionals and other plant enthusiasts review new annual,
perennial, ornamental grass and vegetable introductions. Typically held in March
or April, the event takes place throughout California at several breeder/grower
locations. From Spring Trials, new varieties are tested and trialed throughout the
world in trial and display gardens to determine performance characteristics and
market suitability. - springtrials.org
