World's Best Achimenes

Achimenes 'Blue Swan'

I will tell you I have the World’s best Achimenes.

 

            But who decides?

 

Wise men say: ‘Let the market decide’.  What does that even mean?  Put it out there.  If they want it, they will buy it.  If they buy it twice, it may be good enough.

 

Nobody knows about Achimenes nor is paying any attention.

 

The best Achimenes compared to what?  Within all the known Achimenes varieties, my selection is the best.

 

Achimenes ‘Blue Swan’ is very heat tolerant. It doesn’t wilt at 100 F.  With large (2”+) blue flowers and dark green foliage, it grows vigorously all summer.  It grows well in part shade and the flowers hang on while other buds open.

 

Coming from the world class hybridizer, Serge Saliba, it will lead other durable colors into commercial production.

 

But saying you’re the best is not good marketing strategy.  You need to be different.

 

The heat tolerance will be the feature that will give it repeat acceptance.

 

Hide and watch.
