Schedule your visit today. 

California Spring Trials is looking brighter and more beautiful with the stunning 2026 lineup of new genetics from Danziger. A visit to Danziger’s CAST display in Gilroy, California, offers a glimpse of the future of horticulture. Along with impressive beauty and color, this new breeding work will showcase innovations for both growers and home gardeners. 

“The stage is set for an exciting year at CAST,” said Ori Danziger, Deputy CEO. “We have been working hard to bring new and improved selections that meet grower needs, thrive in tough environmental conditions and provide outstanding performance at retail and in the landscape. We can’t wait to show you what’s new. Join us for a tour and then take a moment to relax at our Amazonas™ Café.”

Along with the 2026 genetics lineup, the display will also feature other Danziger favorites, like the award-winning lineup of stunning Calibrachoa series, including LIA™ Abstract Lemon Cherry Calibrachoa, a recent National Garden Bureau Green Thumb Award winner. The display will also highlight the SOL LUNA PRIME™ Hybrid Impatiens series. SOL LUNA PRIME™ is a garden game-changer with blooms arriving up to seven days earlier, unmatched uniformity and its flexibility to perform in both sun and shade. Attendees will also be able to vote on their favorite new combination recipes in Danziger’s DurBella® combination program. For years, Danziger has trialed and tested varieties that are both eye-catching and well matched. Each year brings more unique combinations.

CAPELLA™ Hello Sunshine Petunia 
Say hello to sparkling yellow blooms that add a touch of sunshine in the garden. CAPELLA^™ Hello Sunshine is an early variety with loads of light-yellow flowers. The CAPELLA^™ series is available in 23 colors that meet every grower need. It is known for excellent performance in propagation, blooming early enough for any program, and creating a tidy pot with minimal PGR use. CAPELLA™ will continue to grow and gain size in the garden with plenty of bloom power. 

VANESSA™ Compact Bicolor Marshmallow Verbena
The VANESSA™ Compact Verbena Series is a must-have for growers and home gardeners with proven mildew resistance, excellent adaptability to environmental changes and long-lasting bloom power. VANESSA™ Compact Bicolor Marshmallow, new for 2026, features sweet, bright white and pink blooms. This series stays compact with little to no PGRs needed.

CASCADIAS™ Lavender Ice Petunia
CASCADIAS™ Lavender Ice Petunia is a showstopper. This addition to the CASCADIAS™ series was a top pick at Danziger’s Michigan trials, and it’s quickly become a favorite. The plant produces large attractive flowers with beautiful veins and a truly unique coloring, with a deep purple center surrounded by silvery lavender hues. This series features a semi-trailing habit that is perfect for premium basics and combinations.

BESTIES™ Dynamic Bicolor Osteospermum
This new osteospermum series celebrates the diverse and vibrant relationships that enrich our lives. BESTIES™ Dynamic Bicolor features blooms that range from orange, peach and lavender-pink. Each of the seven colors in this series were bred and selected for their consistent habit and bloom timing. BESTIES™can be grown in a warm greenhouse along other spring annuals, offering more flexibility for growers.

NESIA™ Pink Crush Nemesia 
This is a new unique bicolor that’s an early bloomer with flowers that last. From soft to vibrant, the shades of pink set against bright green leaves provide stunning contrast and visual appeal. Danziger’s NESIA™ series also has more heat tolerance than other nemesia on the market. Add this compact pollinator favorite to your packs, pots and combo programs. 

TRINITY™ Pink Diascia
Two new vibrant colors join the TRINITY™ series showcasing its excellent weather tolerance and staying power. This upright Diascia series holds its large flowers longer, for enhanced shelf life at retail and more enjoyment in the garden. An excellent choice for larger containers and combinations, it is also loved by pollinators. There are four color options in the series, including TRINITY™ Pink and TRINITY™ Salmon, new for 2026.
