Inspiring CONCEPTS

Ball FloraPlant Trial Gardens overflow with bold colour contrasts

By Leanne Burkholder

FOLLOWING THE successes of 2021 and 2022, TBG visitors will again experience new bursts of colour this summer in the Ball FloraPlant Trial Gardens.

Not only will the displays provide visitors with an abundance of colour and floral contrasts, they will also showcase inspiring concepts for home gardeners, whether these be garden beds or balcony planters.

Gardeners will also get a preview of Ball’s planned annuals for 2024 in the gardens. Some new floral additions include gaura, which will be on display by the greenhouse beds. These beds will also have vegetables, benefitting from the pollinators attracted by the flowers.

Pollinators won’t be forgotten and photographers and visitors will see bees, butterflies, moths and hummingbirds checking out the annuals. An assortment of salvia, petunias, dahlia and lantana will be on display, along with coleus, angelonia and ipomoea.
