Isn’t it great when a bunch of friends drop by? You know, like two or three busloads?

That was the situation at our northern growing location recently: We hosted a tour of our greenhouses and trial gardens as part of the Perennial Plant Association’s National Symposium in Lancaster, PA.

A good time was had by all despite high temperatures and humidity. Growers, designers, educators, writers, bloggers, retailers, customers and competitors alike strolled the grounds until they felt at home. We made sure they were well hydrated.

Among the many plants on display were our own introductions Panicum ‘Hot Rod’ PP26074 and Schizachyrium Shining Star™ PP33433.

And attendees got an up-close-and-personal look at the PPA’s 2023 choice for Perennial Plant of the Year: Rudbeckia ‘American Gold Rush’ PP28498. We’ve grown and admired this excellent plant for several years now, and it’s great to see it getting the recognition it deserves.

If you were among the multitudes, thank you for visiting. It was a pleasure to have you. Your place next time? Great!
