Darwin Perennials
A new armeria, lavender, and nepeta are just a few of the new plant varieties available in 2021 from Darwin Perennials. In this video, Karl Batschke, Global Product Development Manager at Darwin Perennials, offers more details on each of these new offerings, including a birds’ eye view of how they can perform in the landscape.
