With a cheeky wink, the new pansy 'Cats® Light Blue' lifts your spirits high. With light jeans blue flowers and deep blue lines on a white center, the jaunty and fresh 'Cats® Light Blue' is unique on the pansy market. With six 'Cats'® colors, there is absolutely no room for boredom - guaranteed. This fresh product idea is bound to inspire younger consumers in particular, motivating them to make impulsive buys. Combined creatively with spring-flowering perennials, 'Cats'® make a wide variety of fashionable arrangements with great consumer appeal.
Spring vitality can also be seen in the pansy classics: Following the addition of three new and three improved colors, the top pansy series 'Fancy' now includes 21 colors. With bold color contrasts, the new 'Fancy Violet & Yellow' adds exciting highlights. Building a quieter though no less intense color atmosphere is the new 'Fancy True Blue', which offers virtually endless possibilities of enchanting color combinations, both tone on tone and in complementary compositions with fascinating contrasts. The pastel shades of 'Fancy Lavender Pink' tend to create a soft color setting. The new and the improved 'Fancy' colors ('Yellow with Red Wing', 'Golden Yellow', and 'White') have reached the high bar for top plant quality: compact plants with excellent branching that cover the pot completely, short pedicels carrying large upright flowers, good flower presentation, and good shelf life.
Top Summer Performer
Benary begonias continue their genuine boom of progress. With five new or improved 'Nonstop'® and two 'Nightlife' colors and the spectacular 'Illumination® Scarlet', Benary is building on the competitive edge these brand products enjoy.
Celosia 'Smart Look Red', Pentas 'Northern Lights Lavender', 'Graffiti® Lipstick', and Fleuroselect Gold Medal Winner Salvia farinacea 'Fairy Queen' all join colors to put on a show of overwhelming durable flowers. 'Smart Look Red' is slightly more compact with even better branching than the popular crimson Celosia 'New Look'®, and produces bright red flower plumes.
Salvia 'Fairy Queen' has teamed up with the AAS and Fleuroselect Gold Medal winner Salvia 'Evolution' to form an award winning duo. Developing a uniform compact habit with impressive basal branching, these two salvia varieties produce a myriad of flowers throughout the summer. 'Fairy Queen' got its name and indeed the Fleuroselect Gold Medal award for its blue tubular flowers, whose white spots look like magic dust that a fairy speckled on the flowers as it floated by.
Cosmos 'Limara Lemon' sets brilliant fresh globe-shaped highlights in any mixed planting while attracting consumer interest and boosting sales at the retail due to its signal yellow color.

Adding a lovely unique trend color to the FastraX range is pink Delphinium grandiflorum 'Summer Morning'. Now complete with white, sky blue and midnight blue shades, the 'Summer' series offers uncountable exciting color combinations.
These two FastraX new introductions are extending a product range that reflects the diversity of perennials while boosting the profitability of perennial production through reduced crop time and simplified production.
