Fleuroselect Fleuroselect is the European organisation, funded by the seed trade, which tests new varieties of annuals and bedding plants and gives awards to the best. Trials are conducted all over Europe from Italy in the south to Sweden in the north. Potential new introductions are grown alongside similar established varieties and assessed by experts throughout the season. The results are then collated and the very best varieties are awarded a Gold Medal while other exceptional varieties are awarded a Quality Mark. Most seed catalogues mark the award winners with the appropriate logo. The organisation was founded in 1971 and at first Gold, Silver and Bronze medals were awarded but the marking system produced no Gold Medals and too many Bronze medals. In 1990 the present system was introduced.
