We are continuing to expand our selection of Proven Winners plants that we are growing. We make our selections of which Proven Winner plants to grow based on two criteria: flower color and popularity. The plants and colors we have chosen are unique colors that are not readily available in other lines of plants and/or a popular selling plant in the PW line.
Proven Winners plants are know for their distinctive plants and reliable performance. That’s because Proven Winners partners with the top plant breeders around the world to ensure their varieties are vigorous, healthy, vibrant, and unique.
We are excited about the Proven Winners line of plants and hope that it is successful for you. As you probably are aware, Proven Winners is the #1 Plant Brand in America. All of our Proven Winners plants are grown in the white PW pot and matching white tray to compliment the PW branding and POP which allows for garden center to create displays to drive sales.
We hope that you like the plants we have added this year and welcome any suggestions for changes or further additions.

Lobularia
Lobularia are mounding and trailing plants that perform well in the heat. Lobularia is a close cousin of alyssum and shares its fragrant blooms. The lobularia blooms are self-pruning and since they have a lot of blooms on each plant, they tend to be a little messy in baskets and containers so keep that in mind when you use these beautiful lobularia in containers.
- Dark Knight – has masses of purple and lavender flowers on mounding plants that are heat and drought tolerant. The flowers are fragrant and will keep blooming all summer.
- Snow Princess – Snow Princess is a vigorous lobularia that is both cold tolerant and heat tolerant. The fragrant flowers are self-pruning. Snow Princess does best in containers either alone (monoculture) or in combinations with other vigorous plants, but also performs well in landscapes.

Nemesia Sunsatia
Sunsatia Nemesia’s bright, bold colors make it a great choice for spring containers. Sunsatia Nemesia is more heat tolerant than other nemesias, but planting in landscapes in the south should be planned carefully to provide adequate afternoon shade and water. In our opinion, Sunsatia Nemesia is best suited to large containers. Click here to buy online at www.buygardenvegetables.com.
