Plant Development Services Inc. is taking orders for its Liner Program for spring delivery. The Liner Program combines Encore Azalea and the Southern Living Plant Collection to allow new growers to participate in both programs.
In the past, only licensed grower group members were able to participate in purchasing liners. The new program has resulted in a wider range of consumers, distribution networks and plant varieties at retail. Kip McConnell, director of Plant Development Services Inc., says the program has boosted the brand presence of Encore Azalea and the Southern Living Plant Collection.
