Sycamore, IL – If you are looking for the top new Proven Winners plants, we’ve got five annuals that are sure to be a hit in gardens across the country. Each variety in this coveted group has all the characteristics gardeners expect from Proven Winners—they’re colorpacked, low maintenance and add interest to containers and landscapes from spring until frost.
Superbells® Cherry Star
When this Star takes the stage, heads will turn! That’s because Cherry Star brings a new bloom color and pattern to the already popular Superbells series. With a strong cherry pink bloom and a golden yellow star radiating from its center, this beauty is striking on its own or when paired with other plants. Plus, as a member of the Superbells family, this Star also has a reputation for bountiful blooms, extraordinary color, and easy maintenance.
Superbells® Sweet Tart
Covered with soft pink flowers with a large lemon yellow eye, this new member of the Superbells collection of Calibrachoa is so sweet you can almost taste it. Sweet Tart also has a strong mounding/trailing habit, which creates cascades of blooms, making it an exceptional choice for containers or hanging baskets. And just like other Superbells, you can count on Sweet Tart to bounce back after a rain or a dry spell looking fresh and vigorous. This variety is truly a garden delight.
Supertunia® White Russian
A truly unique coloration for a truly extraordinary Petunia, White Russian boasts antique white petals, dark chocolate veins and a dark chocolate eye. Pair it with dark, textural plants, like Graceful Grasses® Vertigo® or ColorBlaze® Velvet Mocha® Coleus, and it will stop people in their tracks. Supertunia, with its vigorous growth, vibrant color, and compact habit, is the best Petunia. Period. And White Russian keeps the series’ winning streak going.
Rockapulco® Coral Reef
If you think that a shady corner or a tree–lined landscape can’t shine with vibrant color, Coral Reef will make you think again. The most floriferous Rockapulco yet, the bright coral pink blooms on this beauty are vibrant, large and rose–shaped. And like the rest of the Rockapulco line–up, Coral Reef is an unbeatable performer that has excellent branching, making it ideal in the landscape or when you want a container filled to the brim with beautiful blooms.
Superbena® Royale Peachy Keen
Butterflies aren't the only ones attracted to this stunning Verbena. Gardeners love Royale Peachy Keen too, for its fragrant flower clusters, exceptional coloration and vigorous growth. The blooms open a rich salmon color and turn to a blush peach hue as they age. Like all Superbena, this low–maintenance, heat–tolerant annual grows 6 to 10 inches tall and blooms from late spring until the first frost. Royale Peachy Keen is equally stunning in containers or in the landscape.
