The Home of

Proven Winners®

Perennials

Walters Gardens has been producing

and supplying perennial plants

throughout North America since 1946;

specializing in starter material, both

plug liners and field grown bare root.

In the early days of the company,

Walters Gardens grew a reputation

for sourcing new and unique genetics

from Europe. With the addition of

a Tissue Culture Lab in 1976, lab

managers and technicians began

Walters Gardens Executive Team

From left to right: John Walters,

Shumaker, Karin Walters, Ryan Hop

identifying sports with positive characteristics and introducing these plants

alongside other more traditional hybrids. Today, the New Plant Development

Department, headed by Hans Hansen, works with more than 70 genera. The

department works on goal-oriented plant development programs, aimed at

identifying varieties with improved performance for both home and commercial

landscapes. Out of the hundreds of introductions this program has identified

and brought to market, only the very best are selected for Proven Winners.

The fruits of the partnership between Walters Gardens and Proven Winners can

be seen in the continued growth of the Perennial program and the continued

support of our customers who keep coming back for more.

It Starts with Great Plants

A Better Garden Starts With A Better Plant®. To ensure

only the top performing perennials are included in the Proven

Winners brand, they are first trialed extensively. Trialing

begins here at Walters Gardens, where new perennials are

observed growing in ground and in containers. From there, the

top selections are passed along to the other Proven Winners

member companies for additional trialing. After each trial is

complete, plants are reviewed and either accepted or rejected

for the brand. Upon introduction, new Proven Winners Perennials

are sent to numerous other trialing sites around North America

for additional data collection.

the reason these perennials have

than any other plant brand, the

white container adds millions of

marketing impressions to your

The Proven Package

Building Sales on Brand Awareness

We believe in the power of the Proven Package and all of the research that stands behind it. Perennials

sold in Proven Winners branded containers sell more plants with brand awareness and consumer

success. Our customers are showing us every year with their repeat orders and order increases that

Proven Winners Perennials are some of their top sellers.

The Proven Package is essential for brand awareness—consumers know to look for the white Proven

Winners branded container when they shop. That is why the white Proven Winners branded container

and label are required for all Proven Winners Perennials. Benchcards are optional, but highly

recommended, for retailers. Visit www.provenwinners.com/perennial-benchcards

Proven Winners® Stake Labels

All of the Proven Winners Perennials are sold with the Proven Winners stake label shown here. They

are 7.25” tall and 2.25” wide, feature easy to read information, and a QR code which provides additional

National

Plants of the Year

What Makes a

Perennial of the Year?

While each Proven Winners plant is exceptional in its own way,

only the very best can do so under national attention. The National

Perennial of the Year and National Hosta of the Year programs

seek to highlight a pair of perennials that represent the very best of

the best. These plants were selected for their ease of care and far

reaching excellence that can be enjoyed by many.

About the 2020 Winners

‘Denim ‘n Lace’ Perovskia was selected as the 2020 winner thanks

to its impeccable habit, early blooming, and lasting performance.

Unlike the species which can be rather wild and run about the

garden, ‘Denim ‘n Lace’ stays put and tidy all season long. ‘Coast to

Coast’ was chosen to represent the Hosta of the Year thanks to its

large landscape presence, beautifully corrugated gold foliage, and

elegant vase-like habit. Look for these when planning your spring

wishlist!

More than just Perennials

The National Plant of the Year program includes more than a

perennial and a hosta each year. The program stretches across

annuals and shrubs as well. While each plant is chosen based

on independent merit, their quality and versatility usually make

them beautiful companion plants to each other. To view this year’s

This new merchandising program from Proven Winners offers a variety of POP to help you create

informative and educational displays around the important message of building pollinator gardens.

provides the tools to share this message in your store.

Recommended Perennials for Pollinators:

• ‘Serendipity’ Allium

• FALL IN LOVE ‘Sweetly’ Anemone

• COLOR CODED & LAKOTA Echinacea

• Tuscan Gold & ‘Tuscan Sun’ Heliopsis

• PYROMANIA Kniphofia

• Leading Lady and Pardon My Monarda

• ‘Cat’s Meow’ & ‘Cat’s Pajamas’ Nepeta

materials available through Proven Winners. The full line up can be viewed and purchased at

www.provenwinners.com/catalog/point-purchase-materials/proven-pollinators-signage

Success at Trial Sites

In 2019 the Proven Pollinator program was trialed at 10 retail locations throughout the US. The result?

Increased sales later in the season of larger, higher cost items and more pollinator gardens planted.

Molbak’s Garden + Home put together the annual display pictured, using Proven Pollinator

benchtape, containers and secondary tags. Annuals in the Proven Pollinator containers outsold the

same varieties in a standard pot 2:1.

Summerific ®

AUGUST 3-9, 2020

Branded Containers

We strongly believe that Proven Winners branded containers are essential to the success of the brand, ensuring better brand recognition and

increased sell-through to consumers. Therefore, Proven Winners branded containers are required for all Proven Winners Perennials.

Six sizes of containers are available for Proven Winners Perennials. For your convenience, the recommended container size is listed for each

Proven Winners variety in this catalog and online. You may purchase any size container you’d like for your perennials. If you don’t specify a

container size when you place your order, we will send the recommended size.

One container is shipped for every one Proven Winners Perennial. For example, 20 containers will be included for each tray of 20 plugs.

Containers are stocked and shipped from Walters Gardens, Inc. with or just in advance of your plant order.

Proven Winners® Branded Container Pricing

You may obtain our current branded container pricing and volume discounts from the login area of our website or by contacting your sales

representative, broker, or Walters Gardens.

Due to the unpredictable nature of plastic prices, we cannot guarantee container prices will not change throughout the year. However, container prices

are locked in when you place your order.

Firefly Achillea

Achillea (Yarrow) are excellent perennials with a long season of interest. Prior to blooming, these plants showcase delicate feathery foliage;

after flowering, dried seedheads remain colorful. The Firefly series was bred for sturdy upright stems and longer lasting, numerous flowers.

All members of this collection are intermediate in height, perfect for the middle of the border.

‘Firefly Amethyst’ – Bright lavender pink flowers transition to blush pink.

‘Firefly Diamond’ – Ivory white flowers are exceptionally long lasting.

DECADENCE ® Baptisia

Hybridized and selected for their shorter, more compact habit and unique flower colors, DECADENCE® Baptisias are scaled to fit easily into today’s home

gardens. Their showy spring blooms add colorful flair followed by decorative seed pods which add interest to the fall garden. Baptisia can be found

growing naturally in meadows, tolerating heat and drought with ease and resisting deer browsing too. Be sure to choose a permanent location when

planting Baptisia since mature plants resent being disturbed.

DECADENCE® ‘Blueberry Sundae’ – Vibrant indigo blue blossoms.

DECADENCE® ‘Cherries Jubilee’ – Maroon and yellow blossoms age to gold.

DECADENCE® ‘Dark Chocolate’ – Charcoal purple flowers with pale yellow keels.

DECADENCE® DELUXE Baptisia are a sub-series of the popular DECADENCE® series. They match the flowering and spread of their series counterparts but

have a noticeably taller habit, rising about a foot above standard DECADENCE® varieties. These taller plants can be used along the back of the border or

planted en masse as a colorful hedge.

DECADENCE® DELUXE ‘Blue Bubbly’ – Sky blue flower spikes.

DECADENCE® DELUXE ‘Pink Lemonade’ – Flowers open light yellow and mature to a

Hostas

Spotting the differences between a good Hosta and a great Hosta are sometimes

difficult to see. The bright, wide margins of ‘Autumn Frost’ are immediately eyecatching,

but understanding the value of the corrugated leaves on ‘Diamond Lake’

can’t be captured in a single snapshot moment; nor can the sun tolerance it has

compared to older varieties. SHADOWLAND® Hostas were selected not only for

the apparent traits, but also those that ensure long lasting and consistent garden

performance.

Hosta of the Year

A new distinction for members of the SHADOWLAND® Hostas

that seeks to highlight an outstanding individual member of

the collection each year. 2020 will feature ‘Coast to Coast’

Sprite Series

vs. Creeping Phlox

The Sprite series is a new type of spring blooming Phlox that behaves

differently than the standard P. subulata (Creeping Phlox). Unlike Creeping

Phlox, members of this series do not spread aggressively, rather, they

form a low, mounding habit. This series also blooms a week or so later

than P. subulata, great for extending the spring color of your garden. As

an added bonus—although it prefers full sun, this Phlox will tolerate light

shade.

Tall Cushion Phlox

A truly one-of-a-kind Phlox, ‘Cloudburst’ finds itself somewhere in the middle

of what’s been seen before. It’s tall, billowy habit flowers nearly to the ground.

The initial flush of flowers appear like a dome of color in early summer, with

rebloom through the end of the season. An excellent perennial for attracting

pollinators.

The Story Behind Hybrid Phlox

Sacrificing Perfect Panicles for Unmatched Performance

P. paniculata (also known as Tall Garden Phlox) have been one of the most popular types of perennials for traditional and native gardeners. Phlox

offer an abundance of benefits in the landscape, whether serving as a thriller in summer gardens or as a hub for pollinators. This is a perennial

that has been much adored through the years and rightly so. However, the quest for perfectly formed flower clusters at the top of each stem has

limited the potential of the genus.

Opening Act Phlox take the genus in a different direction. As interspecific hybrids, Opening Act varieties trade perfectly formed panicles for

mounding clusters - but this does not mean they lack any flower power! Compared to typical P. paniculata varieties, they bloom 2-4 weeks

earlier and have significatly improved rebloom, with some flowers appearing even up to frost. Their performance in the landscape varies as

well with stoloniferous habits, meaning that instead of clumping like P. paniculata, Opening Act varieties will slowly fill whatever space they are

planted into. And they have improved mildew resistance!
