> New Varieties

Gardeners love new varieties. They add excitement to your garden while “growing” your gardening experience. It’s fun to have something new.

Look for these new flowers and vegetables online at e-commerce seed sales websites, in mail order seed catalogs, as seed packets in retail stores, or as bedding plants at garden centers.

These varieties are first sorted by flowers and vegetables, and then listed alphabetically by class. The name in parenthesis is the NGB member company that submitted that variety. An “R” is a retail company that sells directly to home gardeners. A “W” company does not sell direct to the public, but their varieties are available at retail companies.

Feel free to use the New Varieties information in your writings. No permission is required, but we ask you to credit the National Garden Bureau. Images must be labeled by variety name with a photo credit to the National Garden Bureau.
