What is a Proven Winner? For those of you who are unfamiliar with this brand name, Proven Winners is a group of 3 major greenhouse operations in different areas of the country. In order for a plant to be considered a Proven Winner, it must pass rigorous trials throughout the country. The plants are trialed for 2 years and only about 1 out of every 500 plants trialed becomes a Proven Winner. If all the partners agree that it is a quality plant, then it becomes a Proven Winner. If even one partner disagrees, then the plant must be labeled a Proven Selection and cannot be a Proven Winner. There are quite a few very nice Proven Selections plants as well, but they may perform better in some areas of the country than the others. What does that mean for you, the gardening public? Proven Winners is dedicated to providing independent garden centers with high quality plants that not only look great, but will perform well for you in your garden all season long. So when you see a Proven Winner in our store, you can be secure in the knowledge that years of breeding and testing went into producing that beautiful plant. Check out P. Allen Smith’s “Hot 21 Plants for 2008” http://www.pwcertified.com/pallensmith/pas_hot21.cfm (we are not carrying the full list of Hot 21 Plants, but have many of the varieties).     We are also carrying the complete line of Country Living Editor’s Choice shrubs and flowers for this year, http://www.provenwinners.com/whatsnew/countryliving.cfm Proven Winners will be advertising on 5 major television networks and 16 national magazines this year. P. Allen Smith will be promoting Proven Winners products through his spots on the Weather Channel, The Today Show and his own show on PBS. The message is clear; Proven Winners produces quality plants that make gardening easier and more enjoyable. Lockwood’s Greenhouses has decided to become your destination for Proven Winners plants. Our strong tradition of providing high quality plants and high quality service seemed to fit naturally with Proven Winners mission; to make gardening simpler and more rewarding for all. So we have re-designed the west side of our retail establishment to create our Proven Winners Destination. We hope you will stop in this summer to see the new display and browse the ever expanding selection of fantastic gift items and exotic plant materials Lockwood’s has to offer.         pictured above is 'Totally Tempted' Cuphea, a great addition for that hot, sunny spot of your yard. It will be featured in 5 major gardening magazines, and is sure to be a hot plant for 2008. To the right is a little known favorite of ours at Lockwoods, Scaevola. A fantastic plant for hanging baskets, mixed containers and even in the ground. It is constantly blooming with beautiful fan shaped flowers and is a great sturdy, drought resistant, low maintenance plant.     Be sure to check out 'Senorita Rosalita', a breakthrough in Cleome breeding. This plant is more apt to grow in a compact, well branched shape as opposed to tall spindly Cleomes of the past. Even more importantly, it is virtually thornless, not fuzzy and sterile (so it won't go to seed and stop flowering) Lockwoods Greenhouses 4484 Clark St Hamburg, NY 14075 716-649-4684
