Ball Seed has released the 2025 edition of its combined Thrive and Flourish printed brochure for pro-landscaper solutions and garden center inspiration.
This annual guide puts expert plant recommendations in the hands of greenhouse growers to help them build top-performing landscape programs and engage their retail customers.
The topics and categories are curated by Ball Seed Landscape Business Manager Jeff Gibson, with the goal of growing the next generation into the gardeners they aspire to be. To that end, the 2025 guide showcases dozens of new introductions, plus tried-and-true varieties for across North America.
“Growers have an opportunity to engage the next generation on many levels and build lasting bonds between the plants they offer and what the consumer seeks from the green industry,” Gibson said. “The good news is this new generation is already drawn to plants, and this year’s Thrive and Flourish guide connects the grower to the current market trends.”
Topics and trends covered include:
- Container concepts that capture the essence of long-lasting color.
- Pollinator-attractors that invite butterflies, birds and bees to the garden.
- Top-performing sun-loving plants and best-in-class shade selections.
- Plant choices that beat the seasonal heat.
The guide also includes a comprehensive all-year business planner that suggests the best time to order, plant/sow and sell for grower success. The calendar is sorted by crop and gives an actionable prompt each month of the year.
The guide is available online now through an interactive flip-book virtual experience. View, search and download by clicking here.
