This striking, new Supertunia® from Proven Winners® provides everything you love about Supertunias in a vibrant new color. Coral-orange blossoms with a yellow-to-gold throat make this the perfect Petunia for all sorts of color combination planters. Its trailing habit makes it ideal for landscape borders and “spiller” plants in containers.

Begonia Boliviensis
Groovy Series
The Groovy Series is an early blooming begonia that flowers heavily on compact, branching stems. Unlike similar Begonias (Santa Cruze and Dragon Wing), the Groovy series produces outward-facing flowers. Full grown, you can expect these shade-loving plants to get roughly 14″ tall and wide.

Tuberous Begonias
Fragrant Falls® Series
The Fragrant Falls® series sports those large, ruffled blooms that we know and love tuberous Begonias for. This series produces blooms with a hint of citrus fragrance in 8-12″ mounds.
Part Shade | Blooms June – October | Height: 8-12″
New Guinea Impatiens
Roller Coaster Series
We trialed a small number of Roller Coaster New Guinea Impatiens in the 2022 season and they performed so well we’re bringing them back in a big way this season! They are double-flowering, mounding Impatiens that stay fairly compact. This series is known for its vigorous blooming, and large, showy, ruffled blooms.
Part Shade | Height: 14″ | Width: 14″ | Blooms May – October
Beefsteak Tomato
Atlas
This amazing beefsteak slicer is a compact, hybrid variety that easily shoulders its big, heavy yield of extra-large, 12-ounce tomatoes. Atlas is a dense, determinate tomato, well suited for in-ground and container gardens alike.
Full Sun | 2-3′ Tall & Wide | Tomato Cage Recommended for Support
Alocasia
Dragon Scale
Otherwise known as elephant ears, these tropical, bold, and beautiful foliage plants are fantastic year-round houseplants. ‘Dragon Scale’ (Alocasia baginda) is a popular specimen possessing rigid and mottled leaves of dark and medium green and silver shades. Its strong, shield-shaped foliage can reach up to 36 inches in optimum growing conditions.

Perennial Helleborus
Ice N' Roses® Series
Hellebores (aka Lenten Roses) are a go-to, deer-resistant plant for perennial shade gardens. Quickly becoming one of our favorite series, Ice N’ Roses Hellebores are known for their vivid colors and outward-facing blooms.

Flowering Shrub
Weigela Vinho Verde™
Characterized by lime green leaves with a bold, almost black margin, Vinho Verde™ is sure to be a show-stopper in the landscape. This unique, pink-flowering Weigela blooms on old and new wood, attracts hummingbirds, and is considered to be a great deer-resistant shrub.

Panicle Hydrangea
Tiny Quick Fire®
The smallest panicle hydrangea available, Tiny Quick Fire® Hydrangea is perfect for planting in the front of a garden border. One of the best things about the Quick Fire® series is the striking fall color it adds to the landscape. Blooms start the season creamy white, turning a deep pink color each fall.

Macrophylla Hydrangea
Wee Bit Grumpy®
Brand new and selected for its spectacular color, compact habit, and Zone 5 hardiness, this Hydrangea sports some of the deepest, most vibrant purples and cerise pinks to be found in the bigleaf (mophead) hydrangea world.
