NGB tags 2015 ‘Year of the’ Coleus, Gaillardia

The National Garden Bureau (NGB) unveiled the annuals and perennials that will be featured in the 2015 “Year of the” program.

2015 will be the Year of the Coleus for annuals, and for perennials it will be the Year of the Gaillardia.

The NGB board of directors selects plants that are easy to grow and genetically diverse with a lot of new varieties to choose from. Breeders, growers, brokers and garden centers are urged to consider the flowers and plants when planning for the 2015 season.
By November, NGB will have photos of varieties of the plants, provided by the members and posted on the NGB website. PDF’s of fact sheets, flyers, handouts, signage etc. also are provided online.
