To ensure only the top performing perennials are put into the Proven Winners brand, each variety is trialed extensively. Like all Proven Winners perennials, the Paint the Town Dianthus series was tested alongside market standards at a range of testing sites in a variety of zones. These perennials are not only trialed in containers, but in ground as well to ensure winter hardiness and performance for many seasons.

PRAIRIE WINDS® ‘Blue Paradise’ Schizachyrium
Does your Schizachyrium last like this?
No Schizachyrium stands and delivers quite like ‘Blue Paradise’. This new and improved cultivar has an incredibly full habit with an elegant vase shaped habit and gorgeous seasonal color transition. However, the real advantage of ‘Blue Paradise’ is the resistance to flopping, even after the snow and wind of fall and winter.
