The University of Georgia recently announced its 2022 Classic City Award winners. Accolades were given to two Ball FloraPlant varieties: Double Impatiens Glimmer™ Appleblossom and MixMasters™ Powers That Bee. These were chosen for their performance, appeal and being some of the very best plants in the trial gardens.

Double Impatiens Glimmer Appleblossom received outstanding reviews from both judges and those who visited the garden trials. Comments included, “Our garden visitors agree that the Glimmer series has been outstanding in our concrete planters and hanging fiber baskets. Both locations are partially shaded and require frequent water and fertilization, but they have produced bountiful double blooms all summer long, and are all disease-free.”

The latest combo with impressive results during trialing was MixMasters Powers That Bee, which features Calibrachoa Bumble Bee™ Blue and Hot Pink. Judges commented, “This combination of calibrachoa was literally meant to be grown together! Words cannot describe the color-power of these little bells, with hues that grow deeper in the center and explode with a perfect yellow star. This combo is outlasting many others and continues to shine brightly.”
