Begonia 'JOLLY'® on the Road to Triumph
 
Since its first public appearance at the IPM in February 2006, Benary's new vegetative hybrid begonia has enthused producers and retailers alike. Also at the Benary Pack Trials in Germany in May, visitors were impressed by 'Jolly'®s compact floriferous habit and versatile uses.      

All three colors of the 'Jolly'® series, 'Apricot', 'Red' and 'Bronze Leaf Scarlet', produce fully double medium-size flowers that are carried above small leaves. The description of the 'Jolly'® series is brief and simple: long-lived, beautiful, and easy.

'Jolly'® is easy to grow and sell. With just six to eight weeks crop time from pot to sale, it can be grown at 17 °C/63 °F under long days, requiring supplemental light only when natural day length is less than 12 hours. This makes 'Jolly'® a cost-effective crop for the major selling dates of the B&B season. 'Jolly'® produces impressive high-grade 10-12 cm/4-5" pots that sell at good prices.

Marketing 'Jolly'®at the retail level is easy too. The multi-branched plants are great bloomers, very long-lived and ideal for a wide range of uses in planters, window boxes, bedding, and even baskets. Its self-cleaning capacity makes 'Jolly'® a low-maintenance item with a very long shelf life at the retail.

'Jolly'® is also easy to start off: rooted cuttings are now available to finished plant growers from their favorite young plant grower. Find out all about 'Jolly'® begonias on the web at www.Jolly-Begonia.com.
