Only 14% said sales declined, and 14% also reported sales were flat. Perennials posted the highest sales increase among all crops in the survey, which also included annuals, vegetable transplants for home gardens, and others. The survey also found that nearly 52% of growers reported they increased production of perennials for 2021 spring sales when compared to 2020.<\/p>\n<p>The bottom line is growers reported significant growth in both sales and production of perennials, including flowering perennials and first-year flowering perennials. Even though flowering perennials and first-year flowering perennials are different, Pilon points out that those differences aren\u2019t recognized by consumers when they\u2019re purchasing them.<\/p>\n<p>Frequently, annual growers\u2019 challenges with perennials have been the lack of programmability, overwintering, winter die-off, and labor challenges such as cutting back and cleaning before dormancy. But vernalized liners and first-year flowering perennials have provided solutions to these potential challenges.<\/p>\n<p>Growers typically experience less losses with first-year flowering perennials than with traditional perennial crops, mainly because they don\u2019t need overwintering. Harsh environmental conditions, rodent damage, and many other unpredictable winter struggles are therefore avoided. Skipping dormancy also makes it simpler and allows growers to save on labor, which has become an issue on its own more than ever.<br \/>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wysiwyg-row\"><\/div>\n<h3>Benefits of First-year Flowering Perennials<\/h3>\n<p>First-year flowering perennials have been growing in popularity the past few years. There\u2019s a reason for that, Pilon notes.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wysiwyg-quotes\"><\/p>\n<p>\u201cSimply put, first-year flowering perennials provide growers with shorter production times and ease of production,\u201d he says. \u201cThis equates to lower production costs and quicker turns of their production space.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><\/div>\n<p><div class=\"wysiwyg-row\"><\/div><br \/>\n<div class=\"column-12\"><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>First-year flowering perennials have a shorter crop time that allows for growers to place them alongside their annuals and treat them almost like an annual crop.<br \/>\nMore importantly, such perennial programs can extend sales in the summer and early fall when traditional color crops are not in demand. With their tendency<br \/>\nto have more color on the racks, these perennials have a faster sell-through.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, the most popular first-year flowering perennials being produced are coreopsis, delphinium, echinacea, lavender, leucanthemum, and salvia,<br \/>\nPilon says, adding that they will continue to be popular in 2022. If there\u2019s one word to describe what consumers want in flowering perennials overall and first-year flowering perennials, Pilon says it\u2019s \u201ccolor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In terms of future variety development in first-year flowering perennials, Pilon explains that reducing a plant\u2019s need for a cold treatment or vernalization<br \/>\nfor flowering and developing plants that are day neutral or that will flower on shorter day lengths are essential (i.e., flowering occurs when they are grown<br \/>\nat 12 hour- versus 14-hour day lengths).<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, the increased programmability of these crops alleviates some of the pressure on a grower\u2019s schedule. Plans are not set in stone; it is now possible<br \/>\nto place a last-minute order to increase production or change color combinations. With the uncertainty growers experienced in the past few years and can expect<br \/>\nfor the foreseeable future, increased flexibility can be a determining advantage.<br \/>\n<\/div><\/p>\n<p><div class=\"wysiwyg-row\"><\/div><br \/>\n<div class=\"column-12\"><\/p>\n<h3>Continued Challenges<\/h3>\n<p>While breeders and growers of flowering perennials and first-year flowering perennials may continue to face challenges related to the pandemic, they also face challenges that are ongoing, Pilon states.<br \/>\n<\/div><\/p>\n<div class=\"wysiwyg-row\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"wysiwyg-quotes\">\n<p>\u201cFor breeders, the challenge is not exclusive to next year \u00ac\u2013 breeders are challenged with finding ways to improve the attributes and performance of flowering perennials through their breeding and selection processes,\u201d he adds. \u201cThis varies from the color of the flowers to how long they bloom to how quickly they produce these flowers. There are a number of other attributes such as improved cold tolerance and disease resistance that breeders are also tasked with improving.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><\/div><br \/>\n<div class=\"wysiwyg-row\"><\/div><br \/>\n<div class=\"column-12\"><\/p>\n<p>For growers, the challenge will be to produce enough perennials in each sales window to meet growing consumer demand, Pilon stresses, noting that it\u2019s not uncommon for growers to run low of flowering plants for very early-season sales and again somewhere between Mother&#8217;s Day and early June.<\/p>\n<p>In general, growers are looking for flowering perennials that are fast and easy to produce and ones that don&#8217;t require any special treatments (cold or photoperiod)<br \/>\nfor them to flower, Pilon adds.<br \/>\n<\/div><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.berger.ca\/en\/grower-resources\/hints-and-tips\/perennials-looking-at-the-substrate-and-other-best-practices\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Learn more<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-10174 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.berger.ca\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/GG-Logo-300x80.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"80\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.berger.ca\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/GG-Logo-300x80.png 300w, https:\/\/www.berger.ca\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/GG-Logo-1024x272.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.berger.ca\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/GG-Logo-768x204.png 768w, https:\/\/www.berger.ca\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/GG-Logo-1536x408.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.berger.ca\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/GG-Logo-2048x544.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.berger.ca\/en\/services-for-professionnal-growers\/customer-benefits-program\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Discover our customer benefits program <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Outlook Remains Rosy for Flowering Perennials One certainty that flowering perennials growers have experienced in the past two years is plenty of uncertainty \u2013 thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic and the upheaval it has caused, including supply chain woes, a labor shortage, and inflation.
