2. CELOSIA FLAMMA SERIES
Sakata
I saw this experimental seed series
for the first time in the Mast trial in
2021, and I was astonished by the
vibrancy and brightness of the flower
plumes. It was entered into the trial
program this year as the Flamma
series, and it manifested a powerful
show of color the entire summer in
all regions of the country. The series
is comprised of five colors: Bright
Red, Orange, Rose, Golden and Red.
It is also available as a mix. Orange
received the prestigious AAS national
award, but many of the colors were
worthy of this award. In beds and
containers in multiple trials, this
series manifested uniformity, large
non-fading plumes, tight flower
heads, excellent branching and
exceptional heat tolerance. Production
applications will include packs, quarts,
gallons and mixed patio containers.

the Penn State trial on Aug. 31, 2022.
3. ANGELONIA 'ANGELDANCE
VIOLET BICOLOR'

two varieties: Fuchsia Bicolor and
Violet Bicolor. Both have more vigor,
larger florets and a taller presentation
than varieties in the ArchAngel series.
What was impressive throughout
the summer was the upright habit,
durability, vibrant bicolor flowers,
heat and humidity tolerance, and
minimal cycling. This was the only
angelonia series among many that
was still flowering on the last day of
August on my Penn State trial visit.
This is a season-extender series
that has outstanding application in
landscape sites and as a thriller in
patio containers. The Violet Bicolor
was a top consumer selection in the
Mast trial and the best new annual
introduction in the Colorado State
trial; however, Fuchsia Bicolor was
comparable in performance and
offers large, orchid-like deep fuchsia
and white bicolor flowers. The
accompanying photograph is from
the Mast container trial in midAugust
2022.
4. BRACTEANTHA
'GRANVIA PINK'
Suntory
Suntory made quite an impression
with the introduction of 'Granvia
Gold' in the summer trials in 2020.
This strawflower variety may have
the brightest and most stunning
gold/yellow flower color in the
market, as well as exceptional heat
tolerance. The Granvia genetic
stream continues for 2023 with the
introduction of Harvest Orange, Pink
and Peachy Keen. The series was
entered in southern and northern
locations in containers, and the
performance level of these new
colors equaled the 'Granvia Gold'.
I chose Pink to highlight because
of its unique color, color stability,
flower size and summer performance.
This series will be stunning in beds
and patio containers. Suntory will
introduce a new Red and White
variety this spring at CAST. The
accompanying photograph is from
the Metrolina trial in early June 2022.
5. BEGONIA BIONIC SERIES
Syngenta Flowers
Syngenta offers an impressive
portfolio of seed begonia series for
multiple production applications.
This new interspecific series,
comprised of two bronze leaf and
two green leaf varieties, manifested
incredible branching, uniformity,
large flowers, sun-shade tolerance
and a prolific flower canopy
throughout the summer. The series
will provide more vigor than the
Tophat series and will flower a
week later. I was impressed with
the performance of the series in
landscape beds at Costa in late
February and late April and at Raker
