About FNGLA

Breeders and growers have no easy task when it comes to developing plants suitable for Florida's climate. Encompassing USDA hardiness zones 8A - 11 is only part of the story when you factor in Florida's extreme humidity, the extremes of summer and, of course, the un-anticipatable. Selecting the right plant for the right place in a Florida garden can be a challenge.

The main purpose of the trial is to provide breeders with a means for growing and evaluating their latest cultivars as they develop the next generation of plants. Starting in 2011, a unique and inspiriting change to FNGLA's Floriculture Field Days started: a partnership between FNGLA and the Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival and the opportunity to bring awareness of new plant development to the end consumer.

Top industry breeders have invested in trial beds. Walt Disney World has invested the real estate and maintenance of the trials & FNGLA serves as the trial administrators and conference organizer. Together, we are pleased to share with you the evaluation results:
