ASCFG Cut Flower Trial Program
Date postedJanuary 1, 2026
The ASCFG Cut Flower Trials are recognized as the only national cut flower evaluations in the United States. Growers in all zones test new annual, perennial, bulb, and woody cut flower varieties for hardiness, yield, stem length, and marketability. Breeders and suppliers rely on these Trials as an integral part of their cultivar development and evaluation process. Data are compiled by Dr. John Dole at North Carolina State University, where postharvest testing is also done.
The results of each year’s Trials are published in the Winter issue of The Cut Flower Quarterly. Here's the 2025 Seed Trial Report published in January 2026.
