Former Marketing Coordinator for Darwin Perennials

We've received lots of great feedback on the new introductions for 2017 at California Spring Trials. Our team will supply a re-cap soon, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to share one quick testimonial from an industry insider who's tough to impress: Dr. Allan Armitage, professor emeritus at the University of Georgia.

Dr. Armitage listed his "Top Picks" from the Santa Paula stop during his trip out west with the Greenhouse Grower magazine crew. Here's what he had to say about Darwin Perennials' new coreopsis series UpTick:

Coreopsis Uptick Gold & Bronze
"I was stopped in my tracks by this new series from Darwin Perennials, but was really impressed with Gold & Bronze. Large handsome flowers, an easy-to-maintain habit in the landscape, and bright colors should attract eyeballs and sales. All coreopsis are great pollinator plants, and this series helps continue the trend to be pollinator friendly."
