2013 Annual Flower Trial Garden Performance Report

Dr. James E. Klett, David Staats and Tom Zimmermann*

Introduction

The W. D. Holley Plant Environmental Research Center (PERC) on the Colorado State University campus has been in operation for 39 years. Dr. James E. Klett is the Director of PERC and the faculty coordinator for the Annual Flower Trial Garden. In 2000, the trial garden was moved from its site at PERC to the park located on the north-west corner of Remington and Lake Streets (1401 Remington Street). The relocation of the garden to this more spacious and visible site furthered its mission by more effectively extending education, research and outreach to students, home gardeners, Master Gardeners, community members and Green Industry personnel.

The outdoor display and test areas were established to allow students, researchers, industry representatives, homeowners and extension personnel to learn, teach and evaluate horticultural research and demonstration projects in the Rocky Mountain/High Plains region. The Annual Flower Trial Garden is both an All-America Selections display and trial site. The garden is open to students, industry personnel and the public for viewing, gathering ideas about new varieties, studying the different growth habits, tolerances and visual characteristics of many annual flowering varieties.

The purpose of the trial garden is to evaluate the performance of annual flower varieties under Rocky Mountain environmental conditions. Our growing conditions are characterized by high altitude, intense solar radiation, drying winds, severe hailstorms, large fluctuations between day and night temperatures and a season-long need for irrigation. Plants are evaluated for plant vigor, uniformity, floriferousness and tolerance to environmental and biotic stresses. Performances of these cultivars are judged in late July, and again in early September, by selected students, faculty, industry representatives, public horticulturalists and advanced Master Gardeners.

The trial garden is funded, in most part, by the entry fees collected from the plant breeding seed and vegetative companies who have chosen to participate in the trials. Additional financial assistance and supplies for the trial operations are donated by a number of sources. These sources include various state horticulture industry associations, foundations, nurseries, greenhouse growers and plant and seed production companies from across the nation and world. The trial garden at Colorado State University receives no operating dollars directly from state funds. Some operational and staff dollars have come from the Colorado State Agricultural Experiment Station, Extension, the College of Agricultural Sciences and the Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture.

Cultural Data2 Growing

All seeds were sent to Welby Gardens in Denver, CO in January and February 2013 for germination and growing-on in their greenhouses into 3.5” jumbo 4-cell packs. Seed varieties from Welby Gardens were all received on June 11th and planted in the garden shortly thereafter. All vegetative varieties were received as plugs and transplanted into 4.5” pots shortly after arriving at Colorado State University from mid-March to mid-April.

Fertilization in the Greenhouses

Dosatron fertilizer injectors rated at 7 GPM were used in the greenhouses to fertilize plants each day they were watered, with the exception that every other weekend they were watered with clear water. Greencare 14-4-14 water soluble fertilizer was used. Plants were grown in the greenhouses at the Plant Environmental Research Center (PERC). They received fertilization at a rate of 200ppm. New Guinea Impatiens were fertilized at this same rate, every other time they were watered. Clear water was used for the alternate waterings.

Chemicals Used in the Greenhouses

A drench of Banrot (6 oz/gallon) and Rootshield (0.5 tsp/gallon) was applied to all vegetative plugs immediately after arrival and prior to potting up.

April 30th Monterey Insect Spray (Spinosad) was applied on New Guinea Impatiens for control of thrips.

May 3rd: Cycocel was applied to geraniums as requested by company at a rate of 1 oz/gallon (1st application). B-9 was applied to all Petunia, Calibrachoa & Combos as requested by company at a rate of 1.1 grams/gallon.

May 11th B-9 was applied to all Petunia, Calibrachoa & Combos as requested by company at a rate of 1.1 grams/gallon(2nd application).

May 14th Talstar (Bifenthrin) was applied in House 2 for control of mites on roses and other miscellaneous plants.

May 23rd Insecticidal soap was applied as needed to control aphids on a few miscellaneous plants in House 6 including, Calibrachoa, combination entries, and the extra plugs.

PGR Application

Since 2007, participants entering Calibrachoas, Geraniums, and Petunias in the trials were given the opportunity to choose the number of PGR treatments to be applied to their entry plants while in the production greenhouse. They were given the choice of no treatments, one treatment or two treatments. If the participants did not specify the number of treatments then the entries received the standard treatment of two applications. This season we were not able to apply the 2nd application to the geraniums due to planting the entries early in the summer. All other Calibrachoas and Petunias that requested two applications of PGD did receive their 2nd application.

Soil Amendments and Preparation

All beds were raked clean of old mulch, planting material and weeds prior to planting. Where necessary, RoundUp was sprayed on weeds. Prior to planting, 1-2” of new Grower’s Mix media from Organix Supply Inc. was added to all sun beds. The beds were roto-tilled to a depth of 8” which helped incorporate the new media. After tilling, the beds were crowned for better drainage and raked smooth. For containers, the top 5-6” of media was removed and ¼ teaspoon of Banrot was sprinkled over the remaining soil and watered in. The containers were then re-filled with the same new Grower’s Mix media used on the sun beds.

Planting

Plants are grown either in the sun or under our shade structure that provides approximately 60% to 70% shade. The plant companies are given the option to choose whether they want their varieties grown in a ground bed, a container or in both locations. Each trial entry in the ground is planted in 2 parallel rows of up to 12 plants per row for a maximum of 24 plants. Each 20” container is planted with 5 plants of the same variety. The combination entry containers only contained 3 plants per container. This was due to the fact that each combination entry container 3 different plants already. Holes were pre-dug for each row in the ground beds using a 4” auger. A string stretched from the front of the row to the back was used as a guide to keep the spacing uniform.

The majority of plants were planted during organized planting sessions with Master Gardeners on May 23nd, 30th, and June 6th. The remainder of plants were planted by the garden staff on June 10-14th, 16-17th, 24th and June 25th.

Container Spacing

Due to a decrease in petunia container entries the converted container bed had 24 containers removed. This also allowed each container to receive more space between the other entries. Also, there were extra containers located by the University Center for the Arts (UCA). These containers were filled with combination varieties which were also located in the main container area. Also the Blooms of Bressingham roses and Veranda series roses were placed over in the UCA container area.

Bed Spacing

This year, we had a decrease in sun entries which allowed for some increase in spacing for plants. Similarly, we had a decrease in shade entries allowing for increased spacing in shade bed spacing.

Watering

Plants were watered on an “as needed” basis while in the greenhouses. All plants were thoroughly hand watered after being planted in the garden or in the container. Container trials were irrigated two times a day (depending on rain), every day. Each container has 2 drip emitters positioned towards the center that are rated at 1 GPH. All sun containers ran for one hour per cycle and the shade containers ran for 45 minutes per cycle. Beds are zoned according to weekly water-use requirements of 0.5”, 1.0” and 1.5” of water per week, and were watered 2-3 times a week for varying amounts of time, depending on the bed’s water-use rating. Because of the lack of precipitation and intense heat in early to mid-summer, the irrigation was sometimes increased depending on how much water the individual beds needed.

Fertilization in the Garden

All beds were top-dressed with Pro Rich Fertilizer (14-5-5) at the rate of 1 pound N per 1000 square feet prior to planting. Before planting, Osmocote (14-14-14) was applied to all sun containers at a rate of 130 grams/pot and a rate of 65 grams/pot in shade containers and mixed into the media prior to planting. After planting, Osmocote (14-14-14) was applied to all sun beds—including the All America Selections display and trial beds and the CSU “Best-Of” bed—at the rate of 6.4 grams/sq. ft. (suggested medium rate on label) or approximately 160 grams/variety. Osmocote (14-14-14) was applied to the shade beds at a rate of 3.2 grams/sq. ft. or approximately 80 grams/variety. Greencare water soluble fertilizer (20-10-20) was dispensed through a 100 GPM Dosatron twice a week at a rate of 200 ppm. Chelated iron (FeATURE) was applied at the rate of 3 lbs/100 gallons to all Calibrachoas on July 17th.

Weed Control

RoundUp was applied to all beds prior to tilling in the spring, as well as a spot treatment around the edges of the beds and in the pathways as needed. Otherwise, all weeding was done by hand throughout the season. A top-dressing of wood chip mulch was applied to the pathways between the beds on July 18th which improved aesthetics as well as controlled weeds.

Pest Control in Garden

Malathion at a rate of 4 tsp/gallon was applied to the Fushia and Diascia to control flea beetle on June 18th. On July 4th, Malathion was applied at the same rate to Nasturtium, Lobularia (in containers), Arabis, and Cleome. On July 13th, Malathion was applied to Lobularia (in the ground). On August 10th and September 4th Malathion was applied to control aphids in the Calibrachoas and Roses.

Disease Control in Garden

Due to the recent passage of new regulations, ground beds were unable to be fumigated with Vapam as in previous years. In 2013 Zerotol was applied as a soil drench prior to planting in May. In previous years this was also done as a preventative measure against Xanthomonas. The annual garden has its own supplies and tools in order to reduce the potential spread of disease from other sites.

Dates of Severe Weather

This summer consisted of cooler May nights and average heat throughout June and July. On Friday July 5, 2013, Fort Collins experienced a severe thunderstorm. During the storm a bolt of lightning struck a large Common Honeylocust destroying the tree. Large branches from the tree landed on and affected roughly 5-10 percent of the trial entries. The following Saturday, July 6th, 2013, an arborist brought a crane and removed the destroyed tree by lifting all the branches from the garden. There was minimal damage after cleanup.

Beginning on September 9th, 2013 and continuing through September 15th, 2013 the front range of Colorado experienced heavy rain that led to massive flooding . While Fort Collins was affected and damaged from the flooding, there was no flood damage to the garden and the trial entries.

Data Collection Methods

Plant Size

Height and width measurements were taken twice during the growing season, July 3rd and August 13th. This was done to get a feel for the average size of the plants and each variety’s growth performance. For consistency in bed data collection, the third plant from the front of the right row was measured; however, if that plant was noticeably smaller or larger than average on August 13th, an alternate plant was selected for measurement and the location was noted so the same plant would be measured when the second measurements were taken. Measurements were taken at the highest and widest parts of the plant, including any flowers. This may account for the decrease in height on some varieties. For containers, measurements were taken at the highest and widest parts of overall growth.

Flowering Performance

Since 2007, data on the bloom period for each variety has been taken. In presenting this data, we hope to give a feel for how long the plants were in bloom and how well they bloomed during that period of time. Data was collected on a weekly basis. Plants were evaluated by estimating the overall flowering based on a scale of 1-5, with 5 being in peak bloom and 1 being plants not in bloom or have very few blooms. Full bloom (5) meaning the stage at which the average consumer perceives the plant as being in perfect bloom. One should take into consideration the broad range between these ratings when interpreting these data. If a variety started at full bloom, it means it was already in full bloom in the greenhouse before it was planted. All of this data was summarized at the end of the season. Towards the end of the season, any dead plants in the trial were not considered in the evaluation; thus, the data given always reflects the percent of live plants in bloom.

Soil Samples

Second soil samples were taken from individual ground beds on July 22th and September 19th and were combined into a single sample per category for each bed. These categories were sun beds and shade beds. Samples taken from various containers in both the sun and shade areas and were combined into single samples on July 22th.

Evaluation

The trial evaluation day was held on July 29th. Approximately 100 judges consisting of industry representatives, master gardeners, university employees and trial garden advisory committee members evaluated the plant varieties for performance using a combination of these criteria:

Plant Quality: Uniformity of plant habit Bushy, well-branched shape versus open and leggy Healthy foliage (deep green versus chlorotic, yellow leaves) Foliage texture Disease resistance Flower Quality: Flower power (number of flowers per plant, substance and holding power) Flower presentation (i.e. not hidden by the foliage) Color uniformity Stable color (resistance to fading) and stable pattern (for bicolor) Flower size and uniformity of flowers Balance of color in a mixture Overall Presentation: Overall “clean” look, versus visible spent blooms Fragrant flowers and/or foliage Good vigorous growth Resistance to climatic stress Novelty value of unique features Overall consumer appeal

Plant varieties were rated on a scale of 1 to 10 (1 = very poor performance; 10 = excellent performance). These numerical evaluations were used to calculate the average ratings for each variety in the trials. Participants were encouraged to circle pre-generated comments on the evaluation form, if appropriate, as well as write in any other comments and observations they had. The pre-generated comments they could choose from included: Low vigor, Vigorous plant, Few flowers, Many flowers, Uniform, Non-uniform, Unique color and Some chlorosis.

Selection of “Best Of” Winners and other “Plants Rated As Superior”

Ratings from all evaluators on July 29th were averaged and the top five in each class were placed on a preliminary list. A class is determined to be any group of plants in the same genus that consisted of 10 or more trial entries. The “Best Of” award was given to classes whose top-five list had ratings of at least 6.0 and one of them could be considered superior. A sub-committee of university and industry representatives revisited the garden on September 6th to review the top-five list and verify the superiority of the top rated varieties later in the season and not just on July 29th. A majority vote was taken for each class to determine the final selections for winners. “Plants Rated as Superior” was an award created to recognize other plants that deserved special recognition; especially for those plants that did not have ten varieties to make up a judging class.

2013 Best Annuals from Colorado State University

Best of Show – Lantana ‘Lucky Sunrise Rose’ from Ball Flora Plant

Lantanas are known to be heat tolerant and this variety was even more superior as displayed by a consistent display of blooms throughout the summer and into the fall. The brightly color flowers were very prolific and the dark foliage color really made the flower color “pop”. The abundant flowering made this entry easy to distinguish even from a distance. Plants were vigorous but maintained a uniform growth habit.

Best New Variety – Petunia ‘Cascadias Indian Summer’ from Danziger

Hailed as a true color breakthrough, this variety was very reminiscent of a watercolor painting of the southwest with unique shades of pink, yellow and orange. Flowering was strong throughout the season. The plant maintained its shape all season with a nice cascading growth habit.

Best Novelty – Pennisetum ‘Graceful Grasses Fireworks’ from Proven Winners

This is a very unique grass due to the colorful foliage. The relatively narrow leaf blade has an attractive combination of green mixed with white and pink streaks running the length of the long blade. Colors can vary through the summer depending on light and temperature but it is attractive even when not in bloom. Plants are medium height and would work well in many landscapes.

Best Angelonia – ‘Sungelonia White’ from Suntory

Bright white flowers stand out against attractive dark green foliage. Plants have good branching which creates a very full, mounded growth habit. Plant vigor is excellent and resulted in prolific flowering for an impressive overall display.

Best Begonia – ‘Surefire™ Rose’ from Proven Winners

This is an excellent choice for the landscape due to the large, showy flowers that are also self-cleaning. Rose colored flowers are abundant and combine with good plant uniformity for a great overall appearance. Does well in both sun and shade.

Best Calibrachoa – ‘Aloha Tiki Neon’ from Dummen USA

Large flowers have a bright, “electric” color that seems to glow. Each bloom has a yellow throat that helps make the flower more vivid. Flowers open early in the day and were very floriferous. The growth habit had good uniformity.

Best Coleus – ‘Kong Jr. Rose’ from Ball Ingenuity

Foliage has attractive green with rose markings that are well defined for high color contrast. Vigor was excellent while the plants maintained a very uniform growth habit. This entry makes another great shade alternative for seed Impatiens infected with downy mildew.

Best Combo – ‘Kwik Kombos™ Desert Sunset Mix from Syngenta Flowers

Prolific blooms of orange, white and blue created a good southwestern, “Santa Fe” look. It withstood the heat of the summer and was a strong bloomer late into the season. Plants were

vigorous and had a full growth habit. Diascia, nemesia and lobelia were used in the mix and made a good balance of color.

Best Dahlia – ‘XXL Veracruz’ from Dummen USA

Beautiful lavender/white bicolor flowers were spectacular due to large size and “pom-pom” shape. Vigorous plants were uniform and produced abundant blooms which would also make good cut flowers.

Best Geranium (Interspecific) – ‘Sarita Lilac Splash’ from Dummen USA

Besides a very floriferous habit, the flowers were also a standout for the attractive two-tone petal color. Plants have nice green foliage and look good in the ground and would be great in a container due to its uniform, mounding growth habit. It was tolerant of heat and impressive all season.

Best Geranium (Ivy) – ‘Great Balls of Fire Merlot’ from Dummen USA

Flower color is stunning with rich, intense, dark red petals. Blooms were very numerous and amplified the uniqueness of the flower color. Plants were noted to have a compact growth habit and good foliage. It was commented that “this Merlot might knock out Pinot Noir”.

Best Geranium (Seed) – ‘Pinto Premium White’ from Goldsmith Seeds

Crisp, clean white flowers were held well above the top of the foliage for an impressive display of color. Good vigor and uniformity characterized this plant. It was noted that entire ‘Pinto’ series were very strong performers with many different colors that all looked good.

Best Geranium (Zonal) – ‘Dynamo Red’ from Ball Flora Plant

This medium sized geranium had vigorous flowering and a rich red color that resulted in a spectacular overall appearance. Both plant growth habit and flowering were very uniform. Foliage was a solid green with no zonation.

Best Lantana – ‘Lucky Sunrise Rose’ from Ball Flora Plant

Lantanas are known to be heat tolerant and this variety was even more superior as displayed by a consistent display of blooms throughout the summer and into the fall. The brightly color flowers were very prolific and the dark foliage color really made the flower color “pop”. The abundant flowering made this entry easy to distinguish even from a distance. Plants were vigorous but maintained a uniform growth habit.

Best Lobelia – ‘Techno Heat Violet 11’ from Syngenta Flowers

Flowers were a showy violet color and very abundant throughout the hot summer and late into the season. It maintained a nice, cascading growth habit that looks great in containers.

Best Lobularia – ‘Lavender Stream™ from Danziger

This was a winner for the second year in a row due to a solid canopy of rich purple bicolor flowers and tight growth habit. It was noted for having excellent controlled vigor that would not overgrow nearby plants. A good fragrance is an added benefit.

Best Mandevilla – ‘Sun Parasol® Giant Pink’ from Suntory

Giant flowers with a beautiful shade of pink caught people’s attention early in the greenhouse right through till late in the season. Exceptional plant vigor and constant flowering made this a standout in the trial. Looks good on a small trellis or can be used in containers requiring a trailing growth habit. It loves the heat and gives a very tropical feel to the garden. Flower buds have a very interesting shape and add significant interest along with open flowers.

Best Marigold – ‘Pagoda Yellow’ from Ameriseed

Huge, jumbo sized flowers with a bright yellow color inspired descriptive comments like they were “hot yellow colored snow cones”. Looked good even late in the season when others didn’t due to strong stems and a nice medium height that didn’t lodge despite overhead watering. Dark green, finely dissected foliage added interest.

Best New Guinea Impatiens – ‘Super Sonic® Orange Ice’ from Syngenta Flowers

Large flowers open orange and mature into a hot coral color with a violet center for a nice bicolor effect. Dark foliage sets off the flowers which bloom above the foliage for maximum show. It was a strong bloomer all season without cycling “in” and “out” of bloom.

Best Osteospermum – ‘Margarita Cool Purple’ from Fides North America

Rich purple flowers were a standout as they were a strong bloomer throughout the heat of the summer and late into the season. Plants had good vigor and uniformity that created an excellent overall appearance.

Best Petunia (seed) – ‘Shock Wave™ Denim’ from PanAmerican Seed

Similar to a pair of denim jeans, these flowers also faded to a nice soft blue to form a two tone effect that was very attractive. Plants were both vigorous and very floriferous. Uniformity was excellent and very impressive overall.

Best Petunia (veg spreading) – ‘Surfinia Purple Majesty’ from Suntory

Many blooms and good form that prevailed all summer made this plant a winner. Fading flowers created a pleasing bicolor contrast for added interest.

Best Petunia (veg mounded) – ‘Surprise Blue Sky’ from Dummen USA

Flowers had beautiful shades of blue and were very abundant. Plants had excellent vigor and made a nice carpet of flowers that did not have any dieback even late in the season.

Best Scaveola – ‘Bombay White’ from Syngenta Flowers

Creamy white flowers were very vigorous and created a lot of “flower power”. This is a good choice for baskets or containers and it is very heat tolerant.

Best Sun New Guinea Impatiens – ‘Sun Patiens Compact Electric Orange’ from Sakata Seed America Inc.

Stunning in mass due to flowering that is so strong that it obscures the foliage underneath. Flowers are a bright orange color that appears to glow and don’t fade. Plant growth habit is very uniform.

Best Verbena – ‘Temari Patio Hot Pink’ from Suntory

Deep pink flowers were noted for their ability not to fade. Flower power was superior to many other entries in the trial. Flowering was strong all season and did not produce flushes of color only at certain times as some others do. Plant vigor was excellent while maintaining a good overall growth habit.

Additional “Plants Rated as Superior” for 2013

Agryranthemum ‘Beauty Yellow’ from Westoff

“Blazing yellow” blooms covered the plant all season and were a standout even from across the garden. Plants had good green foliage and maintained a very uniform growth habit. It was early in flower and still very floriferous in September. The impressive flower display was even more special when it was noted that it required no “dead-heading” during the season to maintain its appearance.

Cleome ‘Senorita Rosalita’ from Proven Winners

This was a solid performer all season with consistent blooming and a uniform growth habit. It has also been a “Best Of” winner in the past. The dark foliage, taller size and uniformity make it a good choice for a background plant.

Dahlia ‘XXL’ series from Dummen USA

Entire series was exceptional with large flowers and great colors. Strong flowering was characteristic for all varieties in the trial. Plants were a good height and would look good in ground beds as well as containers.
