New Plants for 2026

New plants for 2026 are here, and this year's lineup spans annuals, perennials, shrubs, edibles, and succulents. At Garden Crossings, we don't just list what's new, we do the homework first. Our team also visits trial gardens, attends plant shows, and tests new varieties in our own gardens. We evaluate each one for one to two seasons, looking at performance, habit, vibrancy, and hardiness.

Because we put new varieties through their paces before offering them to you, you can shop with confidence. These aren't just hyped-up newcomers, they're plants that have proven themselves in real garden conditions. If it made our 2026 list, it earned its spot.
