If you think petunias are boring or need to much maintenance to be worth growing, think again. I’ve blogged about supertunias from Proven Winners in the past, telling you how they are so much better than any other petunia variety. One of the newest colors in this series is called ‘Lavender Skies’. This is one of those plants that a photo just can not show it’s color properly. The unique color works well in a number of mixed containers. But to me the really special thing about this color is its ability to look just as great in a container all by itself. I’d describe the color as having a soft pastel look as well as an almost neon brightness, depending on how you use it. This unique color makes it an outstanding plant to use for this seasons containers or in your flower beds. If you’re looking for a flower that will make you smile and have your neighbors asking “what is that”, then Lavender Skies is the plant for you.

Ptilotus 'Platinum Wallaby'
A couple of years ago I grew a plant called Ptilotus ‘Joey’, here at the greenhouse. This plant was touted as a free bloomer with an ability to be free flowering with low water needs. What I found was a plant that was very slow to get going in the Spring, and one that was just not a very attractive plant. Now Proven Winners has introduced a new Ptilotus called ‘Platimun Wallaby’.

Hydrangea Paniculata 'Limelight'
As plants go, the Limelight Hydrangea is not a new plant nor is a plant that your Mother grew up with. In my estimation, this Paniculata type hydrangea from Proven Winners, is a shrub that belongs in your landscape. With all of the different types of hydrangeas now on the market, people are almost overwhelmed with their choices. Hydrangeas fall into 4 categories, with each having very distinct looks and growing needs.
