2014 Flower Trials

Number of Cultivars The trial garden contained 311 cultivars of

annual flowers. Of those cultivars, 70 were

grown in hanging baskets and containers.

Planting Date in Display Garden All trial annuals were planted the week of May

27th and finished up the week of June 3rd.

Growing Season Weather Summary The 2014 growing season, (frost free) was 138

days, (average is 144) with the last spring frost

on May 16th and a fall frost on October 5th.

Rainfall between May 1 and September 30 was

19.65 inches, 3.74 inches above normal. May,

July and August had below normal temperatures

with June and September above normal. May

through September had zero days of 90 degrees

or greater temperatures.

Fertilization Seedlings received treatments of Daniels

fertilizer 10-4-3 @ 100 ppm and vegetative

material received a treatment of Daniels

fertilizer @ 200 ppm prior to transplant.

Seedlings & vegetative received a drench of

plant shield prior to transplant. Plants were

transplanted into a soil based mix containing 14-

14-14, 3-4 month CRF at a rate of 6 lbs. per

cubic yard. All basket and container media were

planted into soilless media and incorporated

with 16-9-12, 5-6 month CRF at a rate of eight

lbs. per cubic yard. Actino Iron was

incorporated into all basket and container

planting media at a rate of 5 lbs. per cubic yard.

In addition an iron chelate supplement was top

dressed on Calibrachoa soil media after planting.

Supplemental 20-10-20 liquid feed was applied

to containers and baskets on an approximate bi

weekly schedule at a rate of 300 ppm N.

Calibrachoa baskets were again treated with

Rootshield Plus, (one application) and Banrot,

(one application) about midseason while in the

gardens. Flower beds received a granular

fertilizer treatment of 19-19-19 prior to planting

and two applications of ammonium sulfate

around the end of June and again end of July.

Irrigation Annuals were watered as needed throughout the

season with overhead irrigation or by hand.

Pest Control Deer Scram and Liquid Fence were applied for

deer and rabbit control biweekly to the gardens,

grounds and selected container plants.

Herbicide Use, Weed Removal The herbicide XL2G and Preen were applied

right after transplanting and again in mid-August

and incorporated with irrigation. Mechanical

and hand weeding was applied as needed on a

regular basis.

Deadheading Geraniums were deadheaded to maintain clean

appearance and promote flowering.

Issues

Making the decision not to use neonicotinoid

insecticides this season did pose problems with

increased insect pressure which necessitated the

need for alternative control sprays on an as

needed basis. The cloudy cool spring also

affected plant growth rates.

Events Major 2014 horticulture events at the garden

included nine “Come Grow With Us”

educational events, Horticulture Night, July 24,

Donor/volunteer Recognition Reception,

September 3rd, and “Dinner in the Garden”,

September 4th. Numerous tours were given

during the growing season to Minnesota Master

Gardeners, senior groups, professional groups,

and garden clubs. During these events annual

flowers were highlighted as part of these tours.
