Bailey Nurseries New Introductions for 2026

Hey everyone, Ryan McAdenny here from Bailey Nurseries and I am so excited to give you a first look at our newest varieties for 2026. We've got some exciting additions that have great retail and landscape value to help you sell more plants. Let's check them out. We understand that your customers demand new varieties and also that you've got a lot of them thrown at you every year, so we work really diligently to only put the best of the best in front of you. We're really confident that these new selections will continue to elevate your garden centers, your customers landscapes, and thrive for years to come. Let's kick off with the newest endless summer, DreamCloud Reblooming Hydrangea. This beautiful shrub has pure white blooms that stay white longer than other white flowered big leaf hydrangeas. It's a strong rebloomer providing fresh flowers all season long in zones 4 to 9. With excellent resistance to powdery mildew and cercospora, DreamCloud keeps its foliage clean and healthy. Compact at just 3 to 4 feet tall and wide with sturdy stems, it's ideal for a bright focal point in a foundation or as a mid-sized hedge. It's an improved, refined, and reliable choice. Next up is Spring Sizzle Panicle Hydrangea. Now before we consider introducing a new Panicle Hydrangea, it really has to be unique, and Spring Sizzle is exactly that. It's one of the earliest to bloom in its category and its ability to produce deep red, vibrant blooms even in warm climates. The white flowers bloom super early and then age to deep red. In warm climates, that can happen as early as late May or early June, so you finally get that beautiful Panicle Hydrangea benefit in warm climates. The blooms are held upright on strong stems, maintaining a clean and structured appearance throughout the season. With a mature size of 4 to 5 feet tall and 4 to 6 feet wide, Spring Sizzle brings vibrant color and structure to borders, hedges, and foundation plantings. Our next shrub is Pineapple Tart Potentilla. I really like using Potentilla in the garden because it's one of those really easy shrubs that gives you consistent, colorful blooms all summer long. Pineapple Tart is super reliable and adds a cheerful, compact pop with golden yellow double blooms from summer through fall. It's a low-maintenance solution for foundation plantings, borders, or mass plantings. Hearty, deer-resistant, and incredibly durable, Pineapple Tart thrives in challenging conditions. With a mature height and width of just 2 to 3 feet, it's the perfect size for any landscape. Rounding out the 2026 First Edition's introductions is Parfum Viburnum. This selection offers an outstanding combination of beauty and fragrance. In early spring, it explodes with large, white, incredibly fragrant flowers, ideal for pollinator gardens and sensory spaces. But the benefits don't end in spring. Parfum has attractive semi-evergreen foliage and a dense, upright habit. Reaching 6 to 8 feet tall and 5 to 7 feet wide, it functions beautifully as a focal point or a fragrant hedge.
