All-American Selections and Proven Winner Trials 2019
Every year the Trial Garden here at Reiman Gardens showcases new annuals chosen by the All-American Selections team. This year Proven Winners is providing plants for us to trial as well. All-American Selections (AAS) is non-profit organization that promotes new cultivars that have superior garden performance. Our trials help them decide which cultivars to promote. Proven Winners is a plant propagator that strives for unique, high performing plants. Their trials evaluate how their plants look in various climates in the US.
This year our trials include tasty vegetables (including 34 tomatoes!), lovely annual flowers, and fragrant herbs. Please stop by for a look and find your favorite!
