“Monrovia Nursery has long been known for their exceptional plant introductions,” says Joey Wiseman, Director of ThinkPlants. “We feel honored to now help them increase sales on some of their phenomenal perennials.”

ThinkPlants will help represent and promote previously exclusive perennials, with unrooted cuttings being produced at Danziger Guatemala, and that will now be open to industry use without branding restrictions.

“I have watched the ThinkPlants initiative grow,” says Jonathan Pedersen, President and CEO of Monrovia Nursery. “I am excited to be among the ranks of other industry-leading breeders and producers that also participate. I am hopeful that Monrovia perennials will help enhance the mix of great varieties already being promoted with this group.”
