Proven Winners Perennial Catalog

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
