At Ball Seed, we pride ourselves on our wide assortment of product categories to supply you, the grower, with the inputs you need for successful programs. One of the hottest categories lately is Perennials. These foundational plants are tracking with the uptick in new construction, and homeowners are finding value with their year-after-year enjoyment.

Perennials also offer one of the best solutions for feeding birds, bees and butterflies - pollinators that keep our ecosystems balanced, healthy and thriving.

There are so many new and improved perennials coming to market each season, and one of the best ways to learn about what's available is at the annual Darwin Perennials Day hosted in The Gardens at Ball each June by the Darwin Perennials team.

This is a must-see one-day event that has grown to include dozens of supplier tents for connecting with industry experts, several acres of zone 5 perennial trial gardens from breeders all over the world, keynote panel discussions to get your questions answered, and tours of the Ball facilities to showcase the latest technology and services.

This year, Darwin Perennials Day is Wednesday, June 18. Registration is free to you and your team. Make a day of it! A light breakfast and lunch is provided, and guests can take home plant samples to trial at their own locations.
