Get Ready for Darwin Perennials Day

Preparations for Darwin Perennials Day are well on their way, and I am so excited to share several updates!

The official perennial garden bed plantings began on May 18. Some beds overwintered and others were completely revamped and replanted. Several new beds include a Dianthus comparison as well as one showcasing deer-resistance. We also designed a new shade area south of the beds where you can experience different shade varieties and how well they work together. So, get ready to be awestruck on June 18, 2025.

This year we have expanded our new variety showcase. It will include anything that is new in a supplier program as well as what’s new from the top breeders for 2026. It will all be showcased on the perennial pergola in one area for your easy viewing.

And don’t forget the tours! Please join us for an interactive video tour of our Darwin Colombia vegetative farm and see the new technology in the Seed Distribution Facility.

So come join us for the most celebrated Perennial event of the summer! Sign up your team here.

Is there access for student tours during the school year. It would be a good idea to bring students to see real world tech.
