Gardeners know that the best plants are those that a friend digs out of their bed and says as they hand it to you with roots and soil trailing through your fingers, “You’ve got to try this one.” The same is true at Novalis®. Our friends are gardeners, horticulturists, nurserymen, and plant breeders across the country and in many parts of the world. The principle is the same. Someone who loves plants recognizes one that is greener, brighter, cleaner, or better for any number of reasons. Like any of us, they want others to appreciate their discovery. We are honored when we are the chosen recipients of these horticultural jewels. At Novalis® we test them before they can be called Plants That Work™. We are pleased to bring them to you via your locally owned garden center. Here are a few of the ones we are excited about for the 2009 season.
