The featured plant section can be utilized for as many, or as few, categories as you would like. The basic idea is to coordinate your marketing and merchandising efforts around WIFS (What's In Flower Sells). Sunrise Marketing offers a 'Pick of the Week' program for annuals, perennials and flowering shrubs. You will notice that it is also a good idea to archive previous featured plants. 'Blue Chiffon' is an example of featuring a supplier that is also featuring these plants in national advertising efforts. This plant information is sourced from the PW Certified Garden Center's image library.
