Supertunia Mini Vista Scarlet petunia will quickly become the one in which all other red petunias will be compared. Though it is making its debut in 2023 the tsunami created from the beauty shown in 2022 trials is already causing market jitters. Will there be enough next spring, we can only hope. 08/04/2022 12:00 AM

As children, our parents let us know – early on – that telling the truth was much less painful than lying. After a few incidents that let me know the punishment to expect when lying occurred, I finally got the picture. (Sometimes I’m a bit remedial). But I do know this style of parenting made me sensitive about broken promises which, in some cases, turned out to be simply lies. 07/27/2022 04:00 AM

Meant to Bee Queen Nectarine and Meant to Bee Royal Raspberry two new agastache varieties are approaching their 100th day of bloom in my house. Both agastache or hummingbird mint varieties will be making their debut in 2023 and in a summer of miserable heat, my trials of these flower varieties has brought joy and excitement. 07/27/2022 04:00 AM

This past weekend, my oldest grandson and I were home alone – it was never clear who was “babysitting” who, but we both fared well. Anyway 07/21/2022 12:00 AM

There is a new Superbells calibrachoa making its debut in 2023 that is so beautifully unusual, I’ve wondered if Proven Winners even knows what it has: Superbells Prism Pink Lemonade calibrachoa. Had calibrachoas been around in 1800 as Empress Josephine was constructing the gardens at Le Chateau de Malmaison, I am sure Pink Lemonade would have been her first choice. 07/21/2022 12:00 AM
