AND SO IT BEGINS… AGAIN! Planning for the new season begins before the current season is over. It isn’t always easy to jump from one to the other and then back again. You would think that with all of the variety changes made the previous season, the next season would have less change. But it doesn’t seem to work that way anymore. Breeders continue to introduce new colors to a series; they introduce new product lines and new items from other breeders; and there is a constant assessment of existing varieties offered for continuation. For the 2023/24 season, Plant Source International is adding 71 new items, a few improved items, and some name changes. But the offering list cannot continually grow, so there are 84 dropped items as well. Unfortunately, one of your favorites may end up on the drop list. It doesn’t mean it is an undesirable item, but it likely means that not everyone has the same style of plant choice for this item to gain connection across the market. For the upcoming season, we would like to highlight a few items: • Four new colors - some with double flower forms - in Volmary’s Argyranthemum Aramis series • Three varieties of Brachyscome Surdaisy from Suntory • A new Pink flowering Euphorbia – that you can really tell is pink – from Westhoff • Six new Fuchsia offerings for larger flowering, trailing plants from Volmary • Four colors of Hypoestes from Westhoff in the new Lotty Dotty series • Five new colors to fill out the offerings in the Nemesia Escential series from PlantHaven • Two new series of Petunia from Westhoff. The Double Stuff series has three bicolor double flowers; and the DiscoBall series has three amazing colors with white spots. Please take the time to consider other offerings for the upcoming season. While looking at the new items, consider looking at some “tried and true” varieties. Our Tradescantia and Hedera sales continue to grow each year. Herb sales are strong, and our Regal and Scented Geranium cuttings are some of the best available!
Thank you for your support over the years. We work to continually improve our program to better match the needs of you, our customer.
Have a great season,
The Plant Source International Team
