Euphorbia can also be grown indoors as a winter houseplant. It also looks well when planted, as mine was, among determinate tomatoes and hot chili peppers in a vegetable garden! I enjoyed Diamond’s splash of white from spring until frost. I think Diamond Snow is the ideal filler for a window box or patio pot. As a matter of fact, it was never out of bloom.ĭiamond Snow: A Euphorbia hybrid, and Proven Winner’s “Annual of the Year” for 2020. Although Proven Winners claims Aromance is a spring-blooming annual, the plant bloomed for me even during the high heat of summer. The pink, medium-size flowers are intensely fragrant. There, the plant cheerfully trailed over the wall of the bed. I’d gladly grow it again.Īromance Pink Nemesia fruticans ‘Innemaropi’: This one probably belongs in a pot, but I planted it in a raised bed in the Kitchen Garden, next the trellised tomatoes. The flowers were a magnet for honey bees and butterflies. Located in full sun in my Kitchen Garden (it shared quarters there with a tall lovage plant in a raised bed), the plant bloomed non-stop from early summer through the first hard frost. ‘Suncredible Yellow’: I love this new Helianthus hybrid! Unlike traditional sunflowers that produce one huge flower per stately stalk, Suncredible is a short, full plant that covers itself with 4-inch golden-yellow blossoms. Snowdrift’s trailing arms and Wizard’s deep-blue perennial spires sang a pleasing duet when I combined them in a pale-blue ceramic pot. They bloom endlessly without deadheading. Supertunia ‘Snowdrift’ and Veronica ‘Wizard of Ahhs’: Supertunias are just that - super. ![]() ![]() The arrangement received plentiful compliments from visitors. If you have a very large container, you might consider planting the aforementioned trio. Humming birds enjoyed the flowers as much as I did.Īs companions for the amethyst verbena, I planted Goldilocks Rocks Improved Bidens ferulifolia ‘BID 16101’ - a mercifully small subject with delightful, medium-size yellow flowers…Īnd Salvia ‘Rockin’ Blue Suede Shoes,’ which provided a touch of sky for the amethyst and yellow below. The large, fluffy clusters of amethyst and white spilled happily and continuously over the sides of a large pedestal pot next the rear gate in the herb garden. Superbena Sparkling Amethyst Improved Verbena: One of my favorites among the 2020 Proven Winners lot. Exposed to 8 hours of direct sun there, the pink parade eventually cascaded over the sides of the urn. Why? Because the star-patterned, neon-pink and white flowers draw terrific attention to themselves! I grew Raspberry Rush in a large plastic pot tucked inside the cast-iron urn at the center of my herb garden. Supertunia ‘Raspberry Rush’: You might like to give this self-cleaning petunia a prominent spot in your garden. And besides its value in hanging pots, Double Blue would make a fine filler or spiller for a window box. The small blossoms ooze old-fashioned charm. Planted in a pair of hanging baskets attached to the rear wall of my Herb Garden, and exposed to only morning sun, the purple-blue, fully double flowers emerged non-stop from late-May through frost. Superbells ‘Double Blue’: This Calibrachoa hybrid was love at first bloom. And here, for the horticultural-minded, is my review of ten flowers and two vegetables: My 2020 Proven Winners Review These new hybrids will be offered to the public this spring (2020). What luck! In the spring of 2019, Proven Winners sent me several plants (okay, a boatload of plants) to try out in my garden.
