Our Plant Collections

Plants Nouveau has been introducing and marketing new plants for nearly two decades. We represent breeders from North America and around the world and have developed a large library of plants across a wide range of genera. Some of our plants fall into "collections". This is a list of our main collections. Click on each section to see all of the plants in that collection. 


Chicagoland Grows® Plant Collection

Flowering plants without woody stems that die back to the ground each winter, in most parts of the world. Perennials come back bigger and with more flowers each spring and last for many years. 

Fruit Snacks®

It all started with an apple, but that certainly isn’t where the Fruit Snacks™ line ends. Everyone is trying to eat healthy. These perfectly upright, dwarf & skinny apple trees make it easier for consumers to pick delicious homegrown snacks right from their backyard.

Garden Candy® ITOH Peonies

Former atmospheric research physicist, Donald (Don) Smith, had a dream. In his retirement, he would take on his most challenging project yet. He would breed ITOH peonies. He knew it would not be fast or easy . . .

Magical® Garden Plants

Bushes that may or may not produce flowers. Many are deciduous (meaning they will lose their leaves in the fall) unless it says they are evergreen. 

Magical® Hydrangeas

Magical Hydrangeas come to us from our breeding partners in Europe. They have compact habits, hard flowers, and strong, sturdy stems that require no staking. They require less water and fewer plant growth regulators to keep them compact and lovely.

October Magic® Camellias

Taller plants with woody trunks. They can be evergreen or lose their leaves in the fall (deciduous). They are used in hedges, as focal points and specimens.
