Save the Date: Costa Farms Trial Garden Event

Jennifer Zurko

Costa Farms is opening its trial garden to brokers, growers, garden centers and other industry members for an opportunity to preview 2023 genetics from March 1-3, 2023, ahead of the California Summer Trials, which is scheduled for Week 13.

The Costa Farms Trial Garden offers a series of landscape and row beds to compare plant performance. Hanging basket trials and mixed-container garden trials provide solutions for decks and patios. Plants were transplanted into the trial garden in December 2021 and are evaluated throughout the spring and summer of 2022 to determine the best performers.

In addition to seeing new genetics planted in the ground to assess performance, Costa Farms is working with representatives from more than a dozen sponsoring breeding companies, including Ball FloraPlant, Dümmen Orange, PanAmerican Seed, Sakata, Suntory and Syngenta Flowers to be on hand and available to provide new technical information about their new releases. Select breeders will also have their top genetics on display in an area where they’re grown out as they would appear at retail.
