2 Botanical Enthusiast, Green Fuse Botanicals is pleased to present our catalog for your enjoyment and use. This year we introduce a number of new Optimum Annuals series including Anigozanthos Jump, Begonia Champagne, Salvia splendens Grandstand and a new Petunia series we call Quality Tunia QT. Additionally, we have many Optimum Annuals series extensions for the upcoming year. Our Calibrachoa Cruze adds a new Blue and an improved Lavender, our Purslane Hot Shot series is completely re-invented with exciting new cultivars, we have added Scaevola Scampi Pink, Petunia Good and Plenty includes two new varieties, and the Verbena Vivid Brilliant Rose will become a part of that fine series. And the new Euphorbia Crystal White performs exceptionally well, flowering heavily from grower to garden. The First Light Perennials program has proven a hit with growers, since they are so easy to use in any production system. Plants require little or no vernalization and bloom quickly. Best of all, they are beautiful. Pursue this catalog to learn more about our New Madrid Lavenders, Perovskia Caspian Sea, Scabiosa Giga Pink, Trifolium 4 Luck Cocoa Mint and Veronica Vernique improvements. Green Fuse s Compatibles, or mixed containers, has added some our most exciting introductions with completely programmable perennial mixes.

We wish you great success for the coming season.
