This Week In The Test Garden July 13, 2012


Plant Of The Week: Gomphrena “Experimental”

The Plant of the Week is an experimental Gomphrena (Buddy Purple) from Sakata. This “to be named yet” four color series (Purple, Lavender, White and Bicolor) has been good all season but has really taken off in the heat (I gave it a 5 this week http://www.metrolinagreenhouses.com/testgarden/8987.aspx).  We had 15 of these in the confidential garden 2011 and we helped Sakata select the best ones for garden garden performance. This may be the series to re-launch this “old fashion” plant!



Thank You

Mark Yelanich Ph.D.
