PanAmerican Seed Sweeps 2027 AAS Awards with Three New National Winners
All-America Selections (AAS), North America's leading independent plant trialing organisation, has announced three exceptional AAS Winners for the 2027 gardening season.
In a historic achievement, all three award-winning seed varieties were bred by PanAmerican Seed, marking the first time a single breeding company has earned every AAS ornamental award in one year.
Evaluated by independent volunteer judges in trial gardens across North America, each AAS Winner demonstrated superior performance compared to comparable market varieties. For greenhouse growers, young plant producers, and garden center retailers, the early announcement provides valuable planning time to incorporate these proven performers into 2027 production schedules and merchandising programmes.
