  1. Love seeing what’s new for 2026 🌸
    These annuals feel both fresh and practical — perfect inspiration for planning a garden that’s beautiful and easy to enjoy all season.

  2. This is an EXCELLENT video, Heidi! So many great plants. I am definitely adding several of these to my shopping list when we travel to Garden Crossings for opening day!

  3. Hi Heidi 🌺. These plants are amazing in the garden. Beautiful colors and flowers. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family. 🎄🌟🎄🌟🎄🌟🎄🌟

  4. The calibrachoas pink lemonade was an absolute champ in containers for me this year, I just found one last one this late in the year that is still alive! I’m definitely getting them next year

  5. Do you know if bud worms eat the calibrachoa like they do the petunias? I'm definitely planning on getting some of the grapefruit variety but just wondering what to expect with pests. Thanks for all of the great information!

  6. This is my second year pre ordering from Garden Crossings. Excellent healthy plants and outstanding customer service!

  7. Jumping on the bandwagon cute hair Heidi! Here are my favorites: Verbena – sparkling amethyst, tried pink cashmere late in August (bought it from you) loved this plant. Supertunia mini vista white, Bordeaux, Hoopla, Priscilla, saw Tiara at Garden Crossings (GC) it was beautiful. And Laguna sky blue lobelia. Calibrachoa I have a love hate relationship with. I like Over easy and bought smitten pink (gorgeous) from GC. They are beautiful. But they peter out and seem more finicky. The plant looked great but stopped blooming. I would love a guide for each annual: when to fertilize, water, trim. Also how to deal with insects bud worm, spider mites etc. basically a how to get the most out of your annuals. I will say I have been shopping in the spring and can’t find the PW version I wanted and have bought another brand – shame on me. PW has the market on great annuals. Other petunias can be leggy and need more deadheading. I have 5 window boxes on the deck, full sun facing south, all on drip that I put annuals in. BTW love craspedia with other annuals and thought I could pair with calibrachoa or verbena thoughts? Last thing the Bidens does marshmallow perform like red embers? I need to try annuals in the ground. Thanks Heidi for all the great info, gathering my thoughts for my order so I get what I want 😊

  8. You rock in these videos, Heidi! 🎉 thank you for taking the time to share all of these beautiful flowers and annuals with us. You are much appreciated. Happy
    New Year!

  9. First & Foremost, the hair is awesome! Looking good! . It's nice to see flowers on this snowy New York day.

  10. Hi! I’m a first time watcher! I have a garden center down in Dothan, AL, Zone 9, and I’m a Proven Winners lover so this video was super interesting to me, thanks for all the info! We love Supertunias down here as well! We do a lot of those, Superbena, Superbells Calibrachoa, salvias, etc. I’ve decided to really only carry (maybe a few exceptions) PW annuals this year. They’re more reliable and worth the little extra money you pay for them and customers love them! –
    Happy Nee Year, Megan 😊

  11. I’m excited for spring. And Heidi I love you and your videos! You have great information. Thank you happy 2026🎉
