Two new varieties earn the valued All-America Selection (AAS) Winner designation


USA
July 20, 2020

All-America Selections, North America’s oldest and most well-known non-profit plant trialing organization, announces two new AAS Winners in plenty of time for the 2021 gardening season.
 
Each of the following new AAS Winners was trialed throughout North America by professional, independent, volunteer judges who grew them next to comparisons that are considered best-in-class. Only those entries that performed better than the comparisons are granted the AAS award designation.



 

Squash Goldilocks F1
AAS Edible Winner
National Winner

Bred by EarthWork Seeds, distributed by Osborne Quality Seeds.

Once upon a time, there was an acorn squash named Goldilocks. In summer trials all across North America, the vigorous plant, high yield, disease tolerance, and rich nutty flavor of this variety had our judges saying, “Ahhh, this squash is just right!” like in the fairy tale. The bright orange fruits with uniform shape and color double as an ornamental decoration. Makes a great compliment to AAS Winner Honey Bear acorn squash.



Celosia Kelos® Candela Pink
AAS Ornamental from Vegetative Cutting Winner
Regional Winner – Northeast, Southeast, Great Lakes and Mountain/Southwest

Bred by Beekenkamp Plants

You know it’s good when an AAS Judge calls an entry the “Energizer Bunny” that just kept blooming! Across the board, the judges loved the bright pink blooms that rose above the foliage, almost like a tall, tapered candle! Unique, showy plumes of pink flowers kept their color all season long and the judges  agree that this is a perfect filler plant to add height and interest to a combination container planting. But it is also useful in mass plantings, borders and general garden use. Another added bonus: it works as a dried flower.
