Local isn’t just a buzzword any more – it has become a way of life for people from Portland, Maine to Portland, Oregon. At farmer’s markets and restaurants, local foods command a premium price, and the same goes for plants, too. Homeowners know that locally grown shrubs are better adapted to their climate, and they want to support businesses in their community and state. Local Roots® is your opportunity to show that these plants were produced with these considerations in mind.

This exclusive program was created especially for our customers who grow and sell regionally. It is designed to give you the flexibility to create a flowering shrub and landscaping program specially tailored to fit your local market. There are over 300 non-branded varieties on the following pages Tags to choose from, including super hardy plants Sturdy and colorful, these plastic tags provide like Mega Mindy® panicle hydrangea and warm all the basics consumers need to know to make climate classics like dwarf Burford holly. Specialty informed decisions for their landscape.

Mark your calendar! Our Shrub Madness competition has become an annual event. Shrub Madness is a bit like the annual college basketball championships, but with plants as the competitors. Each March, we seed 64 Proven Winners ColorChoice varieties into a tournament-style bracket. The winner of each match is determined by popular vote from consumers across North America, and goes on to compete in the next round against a new plant, until only two plants remain. The winner is then crowned Shrub Madness National Champion for the year. This fun contest is not only a great way to pass the last dreary month before the season begins in earnest, it’s also a valuable resource for learning first-hand what consumers are most excited about.

After two years of hosting the competition, we’ve found it has challenged some of our assumptions about what consumers want. For example, Let’s Dance Diva hydrangea – a pink lacecap – was the 2014 champion, and made it to the final round in 2015. Of the 16 plants that made it to the 3rd round, one-quarter of them were roses: Oso Easy Paprika, Oso Happy Candy Oh, Oso Easy Lemon Zest, and Oso Easy Mango Salsa, and three of these made it the “Ornamental 8.” In 2015, over 83,000 individual votes were cast, making Shrub Madness a useful planning tool to growers and retailers alike.

Voting in Shrub Madness is open to everyone, so consider hosting a pool with your coworkers and/or customers. The bracket will be made available in January, and the contest opens in prediction mode, enabling you to fill out a bracket with your own predictions, in late February. Voting officially begins on March 1 on our Facebook page (facebook.com/ PWColorChoice) and at www.ShrubMadness.com.
