Panel Discussion: Echinacea Best Practices (from 2026 Darwin Perennials Day)
This episode of the Tech On Demand podcast, brought to you by GrowerTalks is a special presentation from the 2026 Darwin Perennials Day event in The Gardens at Ball in West Chicago, Illinois. Darwin Perennials Day is an annual event held each summer to showcase perennial plants, breeding innovations, a huge range of suppliers and of course the growers who produce and sell perennial crops. For many years, the event has included educational sessions, panel discussions and talks by perennial experts. This year, one of the panels was moderated by GrowerTalks editor Jen Zurko with three expert panelists focused on echinacea production. Echinacea Best Practices for Spring, Summer and Fall featured Ball Seed Culture Research Manager Nathan Jahnke, Darwin Perennials Product Representative Chris Fifo and Hans Stokes, the Seedling Business Manager at Swift Greenhouses in Iowa. You’ll find this discussion interesting and packed with information to help you and your team level up your echinacea production.

Nick's Newsletter Tip (Week 25): Proactive Poinsettia Planning
As temperatures rise and the heat of summer starts to set in, it’s important to periodically take a moment to pause… cool down… and think ahead. Right now it’s time to do this for poinsettias. I’ve already started to get proactive questions on poinsettias—not just about propagation, but about finished production. And while there are great resources available that cover poinsettias from start to finish, today we’re going to focus on a few key considerations that can make a big difference early in the process.

The Summer of Soiree Kawaii ft. Suntory’s Lorentina Fielding
In this episode, we celebrate 10 years of Suntory's popular Catharanthus series, Soiree Kawaii with the company’s North American sales and product manager Lorentina Fielding. Lorentina is the perfect person to discuss this crop because she can cover crop production based on her work with growers across the continent (and her own production experience), as well as explaining how the product fits into retail programs and home and professional gardens and landscapes. And Soiree Kawaii has a place in all of these areas as you’ll hear throughout the episode. Lorentina also shares behind-the-scenes perspectives on product development, marketing strategies and the innovative promotional campaigns developed for Soiree Kawaii as it celebrates 10 years—including social media influencer campaigns, an ongoing cause-marketing partnership with Girls Inc. and a teaser of what you can expect from Suntory at this year’s Cultivate event in July.
