The Trial Gardens @ UGA

Say hello to the top picks from the industry's open house! . The first slide shows Garden Choice's Rudebeckia MiniBeckia Flame. This showstopper flourishes in full sun and will bloom for a bit over 8 weeks! That means you can enjoy this gorgeous flower all summer long. The Rudebeckia MiniBeckia Flame can also be expected to grow anywhere from 20" to 24". . The second slide is Proven Winner's ColorBlaze Torchlight Coleus. This vibrant foliage plant can thrive in full s...un to full shade, making it a versatile option for any garden. It can also work as an eye-catching houseplant! This Coleus can be expected to grow 24" to 36". . Photos by Kaitlin Swiantek See more

Isn’t she a beauty? It seems like the visitors in last week’s public and industry open house agree! This hybrid lily was overwhelmingly our top voted 2021 favorite selection. This beautiful Lilium longiflorum ‘Triumphator’ was originally a 2011 trial in the garden from Brent & Becky’s bulbs. It’s a hybrid lily with the fragrance of an Easter lily crossed with the height of an Oriental lily. Thank you all for coming out and enjoying the garden in bloom last week! (photo by Asier Gamallo)
