New for 2027
Nineteen plants joining our benches — a yellow osteo from seed, a shade impatiens that shrugs off downy mildew, wallflowers for the first pots of spring, and more.
Every year we add a handful of new varieties to the benches — plants that fix a problem (a shade impatiens that shrugs off downy mildew), fill a gap (a yellow osteo from seed), or are simply too good to pass up. For 2027 the list is 19 long. They’re grown here in East Bethel like everything else, chemical-free. Tap any name for sizes, care and the rest of that plant’s family, or see them all together in the New for 2027 box on the plant list.

Common questions
When can I buy the new 2027 plants?
We open for the season on March 26, 2027. Not everything is ready on opening day, and availability changes daily, so call (763) 742-8774 if you’re after something specific.
Are the new varieties grown chemical-free like everything else?
Yes. They’re grown in our own greenhouses in East Bethel, the same way as everything else on the plant list.
Why are the photos from the breeders?
These varieties are brand new, so the photos here come from breeder catalogs until we can shoot our own plants on the benches this spring. Three don’t have a photo yet.
Can I save them to My List?
Yes. Open any of them on the plant list and tap the + to save it to My List before your visit.
Can wholesale accounts order them?
Yes — they’re on the wholesale preorder form. 4D Orange osteospermum and the Rainbow Bright basket are on the regular list; for the rest, tap “Ask us” and we’ll confirm sizes and quantities.
