How do you know that the plants I buy are disease free
Proven winners imports fresh stock from Europe every year from an elite propagation facility. The plants are kept in tissue culture, and prior to sending to PW all varieties are tested for every disease and virus known to that variety. This ensures that the stock PW receives is of high health. Once in New Zealand, these plants are multiplied and distributed to our grower network who then grow the plants that you can buy from your favourite retail centre. This process happens annually to ensure that the PW plants you buy will be vigorous and strong performers in your garden.
