Judges Observations
- “Nice habit, unique pattern of two-toned colors with compact plants. This petunia was very good in pots and in ground, colors were intense and varied. Plant stayed compact”
- “Super compact and mounded habit. Good ratio of rose flowers and lime flowers per plants. Performed fantastic in containers.”
- “Striking color contrast between raspberry and lime shading on blooms. Flower color stands out compared to both checks as more eye-catching and unique. Plant habit is very compact and contained while still presenting abundant blooms over the growing season.”
- “Entry is very compact, would make a good potted plant. It has a really unique flower color and pattern; limey yellow green with pink stripes in different variations.”
- “The entry was better than both comparisons. Very compact, nice color, held up well throughout the season.”
- “Meets all breeder’s claims of good color and performance. It’s a nice piece of work.”
