Waterwise Plants

WE WORK WITH BREEDERS FROM AROUND THE WORLD—The Netherlands, france, the uK, italy, israel and u.s.—as well as at universities around the country. These are breeders on the leading edge of plant innovation and quality genetics. Because we have longstanding relationships, we can work together with breeders to see trends and opportunities to refresh popular plants in the market. We test and trial earlier than other trial programs. our goal is to identify and bring new plants to market with features that consumers demand: longer blooming, disease resistance, unique color, compact form, larger flowers, lower maintenance, naturally well-behaved habit, unique foliage, and pollinator friendly.

REGIONAL TRIALING

We’re one of the few growers to trial plants in four distinctly different climates. Many breeders have one breeding field, and appreciate the data we can share about how their plant will perform in these different regions. Climate comparisons allow us to bring plants to market with more confidence in their ability to perform for the home gardener in many zones.
