All-America Selections has announced the following new AAS Winners for the 2022 garden season.
After a 17-year drought, the organization says that it is proud to have three breeding breakthrough Gold Medal Winners in just the past 12 months, demonstrating the top-quality genetics that are being submitted to the AAS Trials:
- Begonia Viking Explorer Rose on Green F1
- Petunia Bee’s Knees
- Zinnia Profusion Red Yellow Bicolor
All AAS Winners are trialed throughout North America by professional, independent, volunteer judges who grow new, never-before-sold entries next to comparisons that are considered best-in-class. Only those entries that had garden performance superior to the comparisons are granted the AAS award designation. Comparison varieties can be found on each AAS Winner webpage.
Growers, retailers and consumers will find these AAS Winners for sale as supply becomes available through the distribution chain. All AAS Winners are marketed through social media, public relations and trade shows and are proudly grown in 200+ AAS Display Gardens across North America. In addition, the AAS office creates and maintains a wide variety of marketing pieces and resources such as Printable brochures and Bench cards and variety markers.
The AAS website also now includes a page of Wholesale Sources (bit.ly/2022AAS) to make it easier to source and purchase AAS Winners.
