STILLWATER – While some people seem to be born with green thumbs, others need a little support to bring their gardening skills into full bloom. The popular Oklahoma Proven plant promotion program at Oklahoma State University is providing that guidance again for 2021.
As it has for more than two decades, Oklahoma Proven has put a spotlight on the annuals, perennials, trees and shrubs that have proven to grow well in Oklahoma’s diverse climate, said David Hillock, OSU Extension consumer horticulturist.
“Our goal with the Oklahoma Proven plants is to make selections that are tolerant of the varied and difficult environmental conditions found across the state,” Hillock said. “Gardeners using well-adapted plants should help lead them to greater success in the landscape.”
