2015 Report
Petunia ‘ColorWorks Homare’
Welcome to the Eason Horticultural Resources annual California Spring Trials report. This report is a compilation of notes,
ideas, and pictures from the group of EHR salespeople, staff, and management that toured the trials. The group visited many
breeders, suppliers, and growers to evaluate the new genetics and marketing ideas, as well as share information for and about
the 2016 season. This report contains our opinions and observations of what we saw and heard at the trials.
It is important to note that our opinions formed from the California Spring Trials is only the first step in making a proper decision
on what to add to your 2016 Spring program. A continued evaluation of these genetics in trial gardens across the country is
very important for your final decisions on which material fits your programs.
