HGTV Home Plant Collection Adds to Shrub Line
“One of the key differentiators for HGTV’s program is regionalizing our shrub offerings,” explains
Maria Zampini, director of plant development. “Through careful breeder and grower selection – coupled with plant zone-specific plant selections – we are choosing plants that will work best in each region of the country. This is unique to anything else in the marketplace and allows us to create a national program with regional offerings.”
The Smart & Stylish shrub collection offers plants designed to thrive in full sun to shade exposure. Vibrant leaf and flower colors offer consumers a cohesive and easy way to enhance the outside of their home landscape.
