When PanAmerican Seed Breeder Troy Thorup set out to create a new viola series, his goal was “all flowers, all the time.” In fact, he wanted so many flowers, you wouldn’t know there was a plant underneath! But Troy knew he could only get that dense carpet of color by breeding an exceptional plant that delivered outstanding performance – in the greenhouse and the garden.
“If it doesn’t look good in the field, it won’t go to the grower,” says Troy. Sorbet XP violas fit the bill perfectly. Today, growers know and love Sorbet XP violas – here are just a few reasons why:
- Sorbet XP delivers the most uniform plant habit, the tightest flowering window and excellent retail holdability.
- Plants cover the soil at flowering with more blooms and less stretching. Fewer PGRs are needed and shrink is cut way back.
- Sorbet XP, along with the Sorbet Standard series, has the widest color range of any viola series.
Of course, Sorbet XP’s good looks make them a favorite of retailers, landscapers and consumers everywhere! Go to ballseed.com for more information on Sorbet XP and hundreds of other dazzling series and varieties.
