New Plants for 2018 Garden Answer Debra: Lovely new varieties, but my experience with Proven Winners has not been good. I'm an experienced gardener and it's been very disappointing. Plants arrive either water logged, already rotting from too much water (or something else) or bone dry and almost dead, to only end up that way soon after. Last year I decided to try one last time and I ordered a combination that Laura showed in a video, only to have a very different experience from the one she had. The plants were so sad and bone dry upon arrival, died shortly thereafter. It's clear that plants sent to Laura meet a very different standard and that's disappointing, as I would expect the same quality we see in her videos. That simply isn't the case. It isn't easy to avoid their plants in the nurseries, but I try to now, after 5-6 bad experiences with ordering online. When you call customer service, the people are very sweet, but not especially knowledgeable. I'm happy for Laura that she has the experience she does, just wish it was the case for others of us.

This video changed my world! I didn't realize I could order plants! I live in South Florida zone 10, and the garden cantors carry they same typical types of plants with very little variety and only focused on what looks tropical. All the plants you mentioned I can grow in my zone, and break out of the same plants! Thank you so much! Stephanie

Does anyone know of a good garden center in Brooklyn or Manhattan that would have a verity of these sorts of flower/plants? Aside from Lowes or HD. Also aside from those plant boutiques and farmers markets? Im looking for a real garden center like Lauras parents garden center where people are knowledgeable about the plants.

Hi Laura - I went in and looked at these and find the hardiness zones confusing. They say zones 9 and 10. I live in zone 5 like you do. I'm in Indiana around Indianapolis. Does that hardiness zone mean if you are planting as perennials? Help - I'm easily confused at my age but I had my glasses on. lol

Can you make a video on plants that wont attract bees and things like that? Also a video on how to kill weeds that are growing in your flower beds. Is there a way to do it without killing your plant? I have some blue implagos and weeds growing inside them. So a video on that would be helpful

What pretty new flowers! Although a few annuals mentioned would be perennial here in zone 9, Id love to know what new perennials are out this year. Ive gotta couple old, straggling plants that need replacing. Its always fun to plant the newest varieties! Thanks for the helpful info!

Enjoyed the introduction. If you do this again, maybe for perennials and shrubs, would you please add info about deer resistance? I have a terrible problem with deer, they even ate the buds and blooms off the new Proven Winners camellias I planted a couple of weeks ago. :(

Love all the info/ideas! Had to keep stopping your video to type in notes -made a document page so I know what to look for next year. Working on expanding my butterfly/hummingbird garden so this was great! And love that they are all bloomers thru frost! Thank you very much!

Great video, great information and ideas. I always enjoy your videos. Just a quick question from petunia plants I can collect seeds for next year. is it possible to collect seeds from supertunia plants too?

Well theres heat and theres TEXAS HEAT. Lol
I really like Proven Winner plants, been buying from The Home Depot for years. Super excited to plant some of the suggestions here.
