The Fort Lauderdale Research & Education Center welcomes you to our Trial Garden site. The primary purpose of the Trial Garden is to do research as well as support teaching and extension programs. Our goal is to provide unbiased evaluations of bedding plant cultivar performance in South Florida.
Plants are evaluated monthly for plant height, width, flower number, and quality. This data will be posted in this site along with pictures of each culitvar.

Due to its unique weather, the Fort Lauderdale Research and Education Center Trial Garden can grow spring- and summer-type plants year round. This makes the FLREC Trial Garden the place for companies to learn about how their plants are doing before the summer hits in the rest of the country.
