These are Rod or Heidi’s Favorite Plants

These plants are Garden Crossings Favorites. Heidi and I selected these favorite plants because they are true winners in our personal gardens. We have grown many of the plants we offer in our gardens either at home or around the garden center. Our favorites are selected by performance, growth habit, and flower color along with many other characteristics. Remember our favorites have been selected based on our climate here in Western Michigan (Zone 6).
