Tried and True denotes plants selected by area plant experts that they have seen perform well year-after-year for many years. The number indicates the number of professionals who chose that plant. Not every reviewer made selections in all plant categories. For example, a reviewer may have chosen to just select herbaceous perennials or trees and shrubs only, based on their experience and expertise.
