About Sunset Plant Collection®

Introduced in spring 2012, the Sunset Plant Collection was the first plant collection designed specifically for the Western gardener. Sunset® magazine and Plant Development Services collaborated to bring plant introductions to retail garden centers throughout California, Oregon, and Washington. 

Since then, the Collection has grown into a comprehensive group of plant varieties ethically sourced to be easy-care and sustainable. Through breeder partnerships across the nation and around the globe, and collaborations with local growers, we are able to customize the Sunset Plant Collection to best meet the climatic differences and challenges of our diverse gardening regions.
