________________________________

1Best-of-class for the Florida garden: overall performance > 5.0 and overall foliage/flower rating > 4.5 for a rating scale of 7 (excellent) to 1 (poor).  We feel these cultivars will provide the best performance under harsher conditions.  Many have remained best-of-class for more than one year.  Season designations are: Sp = spring; W = winter and F = Fall.  Some crops do well in more than one season [refer to “Information on the best season(s)” above].  This list will be updated seasonally, as time permits.  To view performance details about these as well as other cultivars that have similar performance, visit this link: Articles, Papers & Reports.
2 Cultivars are organized and evaluated within classes.  Classes are organized by species (crop), plant type (growth habit) plant height (dwarf vs. tall), flower type (double vs. single flowered), flower color, foliage color and any other characteristic that distinguishes a class.
3 Seed companies listed here represent the company that entered the cultivar for evaluation and may not be the plant breeder.
4 Abbreviation: N/A = class not applicable to species.
