California Spring Trials was in full swing last week and Suntory had a number of varieties on display. 
Suntory’s new introductions included Surfinia 'Sumo' petunias, which produce large, colorful mounds of flowers. This series is good for large containers, baskets, and landscape beds. Colors include Sumo Pink, Sumo Plum and Sumo Bold Lilac.
Another series that debuted this year is Sundenia dipladenias. Historically, dipladenias have beautiful flower colors but limited flower size. The new Sundenias from Suntory offer large flowers on a compact, manageable plant. Sundenia’s flowers are 3-5 inches in diameter, double the size of a typical dipladenia. Plants are good for patio pots and hanging baskets. Colors include red, white, and coral.
