While no plant is perfect, we select plants that exhibit the greatest number of key characteristics that dictate success. As a result we're changing the way people view flowering shrubs. While people have typically viewed shrubs as the backbone of the garden, our flowering shrubs are so colorful, so attractive and so unique, they've found a home in the front of the garden and garden center.    

To provide growers and retailers even greater value, each ColorChoice variety comes with extensive marketing and promotion to drive demand. Proven Winners generates over a half a billion consumer impressions annually with extensive adverting on television, radio and print.

Proven Winners point of purchase materials and packaging closes the deal by making it easy for consumers to locate and buy the best new plants.

And because the plants are carefully selected to provide lots of color and assured success, consumers know and trust the Proven Winners brand, making it the number one plant brand in North America.
