It’s time to reveal the winners of the Plant Geek Choice Awards 2023!
If you’re unsure about what the Plant Geek Choice Awards is, click here to find out more AND see all of the plants that were entered into the competition.
I am delighted to reveal the winners from all the categories in this year’s competition. All of the plants were worthy of noting, regardless of whether they won – which makes it challenging for the voters! However, there have to be winners.
Before I announce the winners, I want to thank everyone who voted. Your votes actually help real breeders determine trends in the market, and make smarter decisions as a result.
So, without further ado, here are the plants that came out on top in this year’s competition.
