Proven Winners

We grow lots of Proven Winners flowers. Proven Winners is just a brand, by the way, and if you are into gardening, you likely have heard of PW. Of all the flower brands there are, PW probably is the best at branding, "Wave" petunias being the only other well known flower brand.
PW has a great website, with tons of information, photos, it even has little audio files with the correct pronunciation of all their flowers. I was looking up something the other day and discovered that you can now order plants online from them! I'm not sure if we can get them here in Canada -their website says something like plants ship to US only, $40 extra for shipping to Canada. huh?
What really caught my eye was the price! $7.45 or a 4.24" pot. Taxes and shipping extra. Wow. Of course the price is in $USD, so it's not like the almighty Canadian dollar.

We grow our plants in 4.5" pots so, I guess we win the pot size contest.

  1. I really like all Proven Winner selections. Not sure if the Tidale Wave petunias are apart of this selection, but two guys from Toronto came to buy a bunch at the farm. I think its been two or maybe 2.5 weeks and they are huge, amazing, I am so in awe of how fast they are growing and spreading. Thank you for being some of the only nurseries willing to stock them. Worth the ride out to get them for sure.

  2. Tidal Waves are great, we love them too! Their sprawling size and rapid growth make them difficult to grow in the greenhouse, but it's worth it (we plant them in our garden too).
    Tidal waves are put out by Panamerican Seed, who do all the waves. Proven Winners' Vista Supertunias are similar to the Tidal Waves, but they're not as nice.
