PLEASE NOTE: In the autumn of 1995, we hatched the idea for a free, local gardening publication. The following spring, we published the first issue of Michigan Gardener magazine. Advertisers, readers, and distribution sites embraced our vision. Thus began an exciting journey of helping our local gardening community grow and prosper.
After 27 years, nearly 200 issues published, and millions of copies printed, we have decided it is time to end the publication of our Print Magazine and E-Newsletter.

We will continue to update our Website with articles and enter current gardening events in our website Event Calendar. All the best wishes for 2024 and beyond.

Amethyst Coral Berry Wins 2013 Cut Flower of the Year

March 12, 2013 • Leave a Comment

The Association of Specialty Cut Flower Growers recently announced its 2013 Cut Flower of the Year winners, and Amethyst coral berry (Symphoricarpos x doorenbosii ‘Kordes’) was named as the top cut in the woody plants category. The unique shrub from Proven Winners was noted for “masses of hot pink berries which ripen into the fall.” Evaluation is based on recommendations from cut flower growers and the performance in the ASCFG trials, the only national cut flower evaluations. Plants are evaluated across all zones for hardiness, yield, and stem strength.
