Notable new varieties to be introduced at CAST 2023 by Dümmen Orange.
A bold addition to Dümmen Orange’s coleus collection, Coleus Downtown NYC Nights is a fine-textured, two-toned foliage and compact habit that gives small spaces a bold look. Its late flowering, medium-compact vigor allows for finishing in quarts and gallons. Durable box shipping excels for e-commerce sales. For use indoors or out. One of six bold colors in the new Downtown series.
The new Revelation Series will become the standard-bearer for uniform timing and habit in dahlias. Each of Revelation’s five new colors is exploding with large, semi-double flowers held aloft on strong stems above dark-green foliage. Revelation’s vigor makes these dahlias an excellent choice for both large containers and landscape plantings. Pink is especially pretty with its occasionally occurring bicolored petals.
Lime’s addition to the DuraBloom series brings the power of Intrinsa to Dümmen Orange’s line of vigorous, well-branching and mounding petunias. Bred for outstanding performance in all weather, Intrinsa technology now gives the DuraBloom series a variety with Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV) resistance built right in, making this a Petunia that packs a punch! Lime adds a soft color to containers, gardens and commercial plantings.
White daisies are lovely, but Sweet Daisy Izabel’s unique yellow flowers will shine like the sun in the early summer landscape.

Cooling and vernalization benefits its early flowering, improves flower count and enhances color. Suggested for 1- and 2-gal. USDA Zone 4.

It’s an ideal and easy first-year flowering variety. USDA Zone 3.
