Welcome to the website for the 2002 Spring Trials at the University of Florida in Gainesville!

For our Focus crops in 2002 (Plectranthus, Petunia, Calibrachoa, Helichrysum, Cuphea, Torenia, Vinca major, and Vinca Diva series) you can see the comparison of all trialed varieties at their peak week of flowering.
