A new line of old-fashioned impatiens that fight off deadly downy mildew disease, a zinnia that does shade, and what could be the best vinca yet top the list of interesting new annual flowers debuting in 2019.
Growers, local garden centers, and other plant experts picked those and more for our four-part, best-new-plants series we put together each January – a good month for gardeners to plan what to plant in the coming season.
Some of the new annual flowers are available in seeds or plants online and in some plant catalogs. Most also will show up in plant form in selected local garden centers beginning in late April to early May.
