New for 2021

Good afternoon,

We are excited to introduce the Dianthus EverBloom™ Series, a GardenChoice™ exclusive.

These selections are a genetic breakthrough with a nonstop flowering habit from spring through fall.

At both our greenhouse at Pioneer Gardens and at the GardenChoice™ trial greenhouses, these varieties have been in bloom continuously for over 2-years. 

• Hardiness from zone 3 to 9
• For 2.5 quart containers or larger, suitable for spring, summer and fall potting
• No vernalization necessary
• Blooms nonstop from spring through fall
• Outstanding pot and garden habit. No flopping
• Flowers size is larger than a quarter

Initially, we will offer 2 selections, ‘Watermelon Ice’ PPAF and ‘Strawberry Tart’ PPAF, with more varieties to follow.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Available in 72 cell liners from March 2021 on. Contact your rep at Eason Horticultural Resources or Pioneer Gardens to reserve some of these early liners –
