Hello from Vermont. I used to visit this forum often and I wondered if there is some kind of list-serve where we greenhouse/nursery owners can share questions and observations. This forum seems relatively unused now.

What would interest me is if we were to share some of our favorite, easy-to-grow, sure fire plants. Mine would be Bordeaux petunia from Proven Winners. I'm not crazy about the color, but it is a cinch to grow and always fills out nicely. I'm also not crazy about the expense and the fact that PWs are all over the place. In the few cases where I have been forced to buy their containers I have given them away rather than use them.

Another sort of ick color, but good grower, is the PW bubblegum petunia.

Another favorite is mini-famous double amethyst calibrachoa. Many others (not in the petunia world) I can share if others would as well.
