Petunia NightSky is a star at awards

Petunia ‘Night Sky®’ took the award for ‘Best New Bedding or Pot Plant’ Novelty at the ‘2017 Grower Of The Year Awards’ in London last week.

This new flower form with its robust plant habit proved to be the ‘must have’ plant in 2016 for retail patio programmes and indications are that demand in 2017 could be much the same, with home gardeners asking after this variety by name.

NightSky® had already received International worldwide acclaim since its industry launch, obtaining the 2016 Fleurostar Award. Following its 2016 global introduction to home gardeners, it was shortlisted in the RHS Chelsea ‘Plant of the Year’ competition.

The variety was first seen in the UK by the trade at the Ball Colegrave 2015 Summer Showcase as a new introductions for the 2016 season. It soon became the talking point of the showcase and a firm favourite of visitors. However, at the 2016 Summer Showcase, it was evident Petunia NightSky had indeed been a huge success, stealing the top slot as the visitors No.1 favourite variety from the1300 catalogue varieties, 300 new varieties and 700 experimental products on display.
