Here is a preview of just some of the new 2026 Danziger genetics.

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.

PAZZAZ™ NANO™ Scarlet Twist Portulaca are blooming with energy. With outstanding performance, color saturated blooms and unmatched heat and drought tolerance, it’s no wonder PAZZAZ NANO Portulaca are top sellers in North America. The blooms open with the first rays of morning light, infusing the day with dazzling color. 2026 adds more pizzazz to the series with the juicy hues of Scarlet Twist.

BESTIES™ Osteospermum Series is where friendship grows. This series celebrates the diverse and vibrant relationships that enrich our lives, representing those we love with flowers that are just as beautiful as our friends. Each of the seven color 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 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.

Gaillardia GUSTO™ Orange Zest is the new must-have for perennial programs, featuring an abundance of  glowing, bright orange blooms. This color was a standout in trials, and growers love the flexibility of GUSTO’s first-year flowering with no vernalization requirements. Each Gaillardia in this series is an excellent addition to quart and gallon programs.
