InCheck™ Non-Invasive Plant Program
More and more people are becoming aware of invasive plants and the problems they pose for both the environment and for plant management. But plant invasiveness is a vast topic, one that is difficult for industry professionals to have a solid grasp on, never mind homeowners and gardeners. That's why, in the same spirit as our Deer Proof™ collection, we’re pleased to introduce the InCheck program: flowering shrub varieties that set little to no seed, may be sterile and are non-invasive plants.
The InCheck designation will appear on tags of each of these non-invasive plants, alongside the common name, so it’s clear that these are varieties gardeners can feel confident buying. After all, even if a species isn’t invasive in an area, no one wants to deal with extra seedlings if they can help it, so these varieties will also appeal to those seeking low-maintenance plants landscaping.
