See New & Tested Plant Varieties Up Close The trial garden is described as a “living catalog” where visitors can walk through 1,500+ varieties, including familiar favorites and new for ’27 standouts, displayed in real garden conditions. Visitors can compare size, color, vigor, and habit side-by-side, which photos alone can’t convey. This hands-on experience helps you make more informed planting or purchasing decisions. Inspiration for Designs & Combinations Along with pots and beds of individual varieties, the trial garden also features custom combinations in hanging baskets, patio pots, and saddle boxes, each clearly labeled. An inspiration destination for retail customers, landscapers, and home gardeners looking for fresh ideas or what works well together in containers and landscapes.
Education & Insight on Performance Observe which plants perform best in summer heat, sun/shade, and real outdoor conditions rather than ideal greenhouse settings. Ask our expert staff questions about plant performance and care. “You Ask, We Trial” feature trials for 2026: PGR vs. pinching, new perennials, and new breeder Kerly. Networking & Community The trial garden draws growers, breeders, retailers, landscapers, and home gardeners, providing a great environment to meet other industry professionals. Visitors vote on favorite new varieties and combinations.
