New Varieties:

Dümmen Orange is bringing three new ‘SpinTop’ Gaillardia series to market in 2018. These new cultivars fit perfectly into the existing assortment with a matching habit and timing, expanding the best compact gaillardia series on the market. Featuring excellent landscape performance and cold hardiness in trials across the continent, these perennials are a must-try new series.

‘Bloomtastic’ Calibrachoa — ‘Rose Quartz’ and ‘Serenity’ are new for 2018. The ‘Bloomtastic’ Calibrachoa series was bred to be the most vigorous calibrachoa series offered by Dümmen Orange. Both ‘Rose Quartz’ and ‘Serenity’ feature remarkable heat tolerance, iridescent extra-large flowers, and a spreading growth habit that makes them perfect for hanging baskets and even landscape applications.

The Verbena ‘Empress Sun’ Series was developed to fill the landscape verbena niche. These vigorous growers feature early flowering, a reduced cyclic blooming pattern, plus impressive heat, humidity, and mildew tolerance.

After winning the prestigious FleuroStar award in 2016, the ‘Unbelievable Miss Malibu’ Begonia will cross the pond and join the ‘Unbelievable’ Begonia series offered by Dümmen Orange. Fitting perfectly into the existing lineup of strong branching double flowering begonias, ‘Miss Malibu’ features excellent garden performance in both sun and shade locations.
