Your Benary-Team



Scabiosa japonica 'Ritz Blue'

Cultivation trials conducted at Benary provide proof that 'Ritz Blue' can be flowered in spring. Potential selling dates include mid-March, mid-April and late April, which means that 'Ritz Blue' can be grown along with pansies.
Growers have acknowledged the enormous potential of 'Ritz Blue' as a summer-flowering pot plant ever since this vernalization-free FastraX perennial was first introduced. Spring is a new sales window that provides extra profit.

The crop schedules for our cultivation trials are available on the Internet at www.Benary.com/Scabiosa_Ritz


Silene pendula 'Celina'

Good frost tolerance and straightforward cultivation make 'Celina' ideal for bench run production for late February sales along with pansies, bellis or myosotis.
Charming 'Celina', with deep rose flowers covering the globular plants, puts on a fantastic show in flower beds, window boxes or patio planters. With a natural flowering period from May through August and a lovely leaf tint after flowering has ended, 'Celina' is a profitable season extender.
