At Proven Winners, gardener success is at the heart of everything they do, which is why they are proud to introduce an amazing array of new and improved introductions for 2027. Their newest varieties feature the performance gardeners trust, along with innovative and appealing traits like increased flower power, improved heat and cold tolerance, and outstanding uniformity.

Every single Proven Winners plant is extensively trialed and tested for grower, retailer and gardener performance, with years of research going into each variety. Annuals are put to the test in both Texas and Florida to identify plants that can stand up to even the most challenging climates. In fact, less than 2% of the annual plants trialed each year earn a place in the Proven Winners brand, so retailers can feel confident in carrying these new varieties next year.
