New from Goldsmith Seeds for 2003/2004 is the 'Go-Go' series of non-stop Begonia tuberosa, well matched for plant habit with medium-large semi-double. Plants produce tight, well proportioned foliage making plants esaier to sleeve and transport. Plant growth and flowering is uniform across the series and earlier flowering than 'Nonstop'. The first introductions will include: a red and an orange flowered variety both with dark leaves and five varieties with ordinary green leaves with diverse flower colours: 'Go-Go' Apple-Blossom, Cherry, Red, White and Yellow. Another novelty is the Zinnia bicolour 'Swizzle' - two well matched varieties with unique novelty coloration: 'Swizzle' Cheery and Ivory and 'Swizzle' Scarlet and Yellow'. Plants are more vigorous and grow taller than 'Short Stuff' and are dwarfer than 'Peter Pan. 'Swizzle' Zinnias form bushy plants that grow to a height of 20-30cm and quickly fill out pots and beds. The two varieties are also noted for their superior flower form. Visit the European Pack Trials 28th April - 2nd May 2003.
