The European summers are getting red-hot and drier . This is having an increase impact on the green industry . And the end consumer is also increasingly concerned with the question of which plants can go heat waves , command small sum of urine and are therefore ecologically worthful .
Trial drought - permissiveness
so as to respond to these developments and answer the questions , Selecta one , in cooperation with the research institute LVG in Heidelberg , has tested part of its bedding and balcony image for drouth tolerance . In summer 2020 , 83 variety from 23 different crops were planted out on a container area and tame with only around 50 % of the optimal amount of water . From each sort , a comparable comparison cultivation was supplied with optimal water amount : Thus , crops such as Delosperma and Sedum were irrigated with 2 l / h , Pelargonium and Phlox for example with 4 l / h , Calibrachoa and Osteospermum with 8 liter / h and Bidens and Petunia with 12 l / h.
The criteria " overall belief " and " irreversible plant damage " were assess . The evaluation tablepublishedby Selecta one and LVG Heidelberg shows the diversity that were grass safe to very unspoiled in the period from week 24 and week 37 regarding the above criteria .

" It was astonishing for us that in the test carry out at the LVG in Heidelberg , in addition to variety known to be adapted to drouth , such as Sedum and Delosperma , even variety show from the Calibrachoa chain , such as MiniFamous Uno Double ' LavTastic ' , ' Rave Pink ' 16 ' and ' PinkTastic ' and Petunia such as ' NightSky ' , ' Famous Laser Pink ' and ' Royal Sky ' defied the drouth and were range as good to very beneficial with only 50 % of the optimal water amount . With these test results , we want to draw attention to our drouth - tolerant varieties in edict to respond to the demand of our customer and terminate consumers on this subject , " says Sebastian Mainz ( Senior Trade Marketing Manager at Selecta one ) .
Ute Ruttensperger from LVG Heidelberg adds : " Against the background of global mood alteration , more frequent and more intensive drought outcome are expect . These extremely hot summers will also bring new challenges in terms of the design and irrigation of plantations in residential areas and garden . Local regime and consumers will more and more have to adjust to more irrigation in the coming period . The requirement for multifariousness with high drought tolerance and adapted growth bicycle will also increase . specially flower plant life have a high biodiversity welfare . Breeding must respond to this . Targeted information at the POS is also important so as to wield a broad diverseness in plant use . "
