The Garden Guy has been working on a project, and the number I came up with is 1340. It is not my address, and the number wasn’t the assignment, but part of my own research to help me get started. That number is the total accumulation of awards won by the Supers: Supertunia petunia, Superbells calibrachoa and Superbena verbenas. That is a huge number.
(As an aside, I find it funny that some of my favorites within these divisions — those I would put in the category of GOAT (Greatest of All Time) — don’t have any awards, but as a former university horticulture specialist who oversaw the Mississippi Medallion Award, I can understand why; we simply could not trial everything.)
These three divisions — Supertunia petunias, Superbells calibrachoas and Superbena verbenas — deserve to be together. Together they will create award-winning mixed containers, baskets and boxes, just like Acapulco Sun, the Recipe of the Year I presented to you a couple of weeks ago.
