Catalogue descriptions for new plants may grab our attention, but usually provide little useful information about how these up-and-coming cultivars will perform in your garden. Fortunately, comparative trials like those conducted at <a href= "https://www.chicagobotanic.org/">Chicago Botanic Garden</a> and <a href= "https://mtcubacenter.org/">Mt. Cuba Center</a> put plants to the test, side-by-side, under typical garden conditions. In this episode, <a href= "https://www.finegardening.com/author/richard-hawke"> Richard Hawke</a> and <a href= "https://www.finegardening.com/author/sam-hoadley"> Sam Hoadley</a> delve into a few of the similarities and differences between their trial programs. They compare notes, trade stories, and dispel a few misconceptions as they prepare for the talk they will give on Thurday, March 6th, 2025 as part of the Know to Grow lecture series at the <a href= "https://phsonline.org/the-flower-show">Philadelphia Flower Show</a>.    See more by going to the show notes at <a href= "https://www.finegardening.com/podcast">https://www.finegardening.com/podcast</a>
