I am sure that TheGardenLady is not alone in wanting to know the newest plants developed for the garden each year.
Does TheGardenLady’s readers want to be the first in his/her area to have these new plants? Or is the gardener looking for just that special plant for just that special area in the garden – a new plant that might be deer resistant or color coordinated, like a hydrangea that changes from pale pink to emerald green, for the special garden or a plant that grows a special height in the location planted.
To that end of being one of the first to know which plants are coming out in 2008, TheGardenLady has contacted Novalis, the group that introduced the Double Knock Out and Pink Double Knock Out roses.
