Monrovia® Featured Plants Add Beauty to the Landscape
When introducing plant varieties, Monrovia looks for improvements such as more or larger flowers, a longer bloom season, better hardiness or resistance to pest and diseases, and plant habits that fit the structural needs of home landscapes. Monrovia's Featured Plants are introductions that are versatile, distinct, and will remain popular for years to come. These introductions represent the best and most beautiful varieties Monrovia grows.

Shrub Roses add stunning, season-long color to landscapes. Grace N’ Grit™ shrub roses are proven performers, featuring big clusters of beautiful flowers.

They stay the perfect size to grace borders, beds and containers with their nonstop display of elegant, jewel-tone flowers. There are four luscious colors available:
A Beautiful Plant for Containers and Mass Plantings
The first Sunflower to bloom continuously, Monrovia selected SunBelievable® Brown Eyed Girl for its flower power. Each plant produces 1,000 (or more) beautiful blossoms from spring to frost. SunBelievable® Brown Eyed Girl has the unique characteristic among sunflowers that it does not need to be deadheaded. Each flower, after the petals drop, adds a dark accent that complements the brightly colored blooms. The plant grows 32” tall and 40” wide, so it is perfect for containers or in the landscape. SunBelievable® also makes an excellent cut flower.
Beautiful Plants for Pollinator Gardens
It is easier than ever to feed bees, butterflies, and other pollinators with beautiful Evolution™ Coneflowers. They feature richer, more vibrant colors than other varieties. Each plant produces multiple branches, providing more blossoms from late spring through fall—even in summer heat. These hearty, North American native plants are also fantastic for cutting because they feature sturdy stems. Evolution™ Coneflowers are available in five colorful varieties including:
- Color-changing Evolution™ Colorific™
- Rich red Evolution™ Embers™ Fever
- Golden-yellow Evolution™ Embers™ Sparks
- Bold orange Evolution™ Fiesta
- Lemon-yellow Evolution™ Yellow Falls
