Last month, we were excited to share that Sofia Prunus and Crimson Feather Sorbaria both earned Awards of Merit in the Judges' Awards at the Farwest Show New Varieties Showcase. Today, we're pleased to report that the recognition didn't stop there.

Sofia Prunus continued its impressive showing by capturing the coveted People's Choice Best in Show Award, as voted on by Farwest attendees. This additional honor underscores the variety's strong combination of visual appeal, garden performance, and market potential, qualities that resonated with industry professionals from across the horticulture sector.

Meanwhile, Crimson Feather Sorbaria also garnered additional recognition on the show floor. Featured in Monrovia's booth, the variety caught the attention of members of the Garden Center Group's attendee contingent and was subsequently selected for a Retailers' Choice Award. This distinction highlights its strong retail appeal and potential to stand out with both garden centers and consumers.

Receiving recognition from judges, retailers, and industry attendees alike is a testament to the innovation and commercial promise behind these outstanding introductions. Congratulations to everyone involved in bringing these award-winning plants to market.
