I've been gardening over 40 years and one of the best "new" things to come along for me is Proven Winners. I'm a plant collector and seem to want one of everything. But when I see that label on a plant, any hope of resistance is gone. Proven Winner plants are just that, PROVEN. I've proven them in my own garden, through drought, late freeze, dogs, etc. I wouldn't want to go back to gardening without them! Thank you! - Karen G. (TN)
