Hot Perennials for 2018

Jennifer Polanz

Each year, Eason Horticultural Resources’ perennial department works with the industry’s perennial suppliers to find out what’s hot in the category. They recently released the 2018 Hot New Perennials booklet available for download at www.ehrnet.com. In its ninth year, the booklet highlights perennials that are sure to be best sellers, as well as those that are collector-worthy and specialty plants. Because Eason isn’t aligned with any specific genetic companies, they can feature perennials from a wide variety of breeding companies and growers.

A quick look in the booklet shows that pollinators, including asclepias, are still hot, and that perennial combo planters are en vogue. GP
