🌟 Superstars for Summer: Our Favorite Proven Winners to Plant Now!

Summer is almost here, and that means it’s time to bring your garden to life with vibrant color, effortless beauty, and the kind of performance that only Proven Winners can deliver. At Nunan’s Florist & Garden Center in Georgetown, MA, we grow over 60,000 Proven Winners annuals every year—and we’re proud to feature some of the most beloved varieties that thrive in Zone 6a gardens.

Whether you’re refreshing your containers, jazzing up your landscape beds, or starting from scratch, these Nunan Grown favorites are the tried-and-true champions you’ll want to plant right now.


🌸 Supertunia Vista® Bubblegum

The queen of the container garden! Known for its incredible vigor and non-stop blooms, Supertunia Vista® Bubblegum delivers a tidal wave of bubblegum-pink flowers all summer long. It’s self-cleaning, drought-tolerant once established, and just keeps growing. Ideal for:

  • Hanging baskets

  • Large containers

  • Front-yard color that wows

Pair it with trailing varieties or plant in masses for maximum impact.


❄️ Diamond Frost® Euphorbia

Soft, airy, and graceful—Diamond Frost® brings a delicate touch with its tiny white flowers that seem to hover like mist over your plantings. Don’t let its softness fool you—it’s tough as nails in the summer heat and thrives with minimal care. Use it to:

  • Soften bold color combos

  • Fill in around focal plants

  • Add elegance to shade or sun containers


🤍 Snow Princess® Lobularia

Think of this as the cool breeze in your summer garden. Snow Princess® is heat-tolerant, fragrant, and forms a cascading mound of snow-white blooms that bees and butterflies adore. Unlike typical alyssum, this one won’t quit when the heat turns up. Use it in:

  • Window boxes and raised planters

  • Pollinator gardens

  • As a spiller in mixed containers


💛 Superbells® Calibrachoa

Available in a rainbow of colors, Superbells® are mini petunias with a big personality. They bloom early, often, and love containers. Plus, they’re disease-resistant and self-cleaning, making them one of the easiest choices for summer color. Popular picks include:

  • Superbells® Yellow for bright pops

  • Superbells® Dreamsicle® for warm orange tones

  • Superbells® Blue Moon Punch™ for bold contrast

Perfect for porch pots, hanging baskets, and combos with other Proven Winners.


🌱 Why Plant Now?

Planting in early May gives your annuals time to root and flourish before summer heat arrives. All these varieties are Nunan Grown, which means they’ve been raised right here in our greenhouses and are ready to thrive in your local garden.
