All-America Selections announces first three new AAS Winners for 2027

All-America Selections announced the first three AAS Winners for the 2027 gardening season.

In a historic first, all three were developed by a single breeding company: PanAmerican Seed.

Rigorously tested by independent volunteer judges across North America, these varieties have proven their superior garden performance against top market competitors. This early announcement gives brokers, growers and retailers a head start to confidently add them to their 2027 product lines.

The newest AAS Winners for 2027 are:

All AAS Winners are marketed through social media, public relations and trade shows and are grown in AAS display and introduction gardens across North America.

AAS also creates and maintains a wide variety of marketing pieces and resources for anyone in the industry to use, including:

• Wholesale source list
• PowerPoint presentations on SlideShare or on the AAS website
• AAS bench cards and variety markers

Each of the newest AAS Winners will soon be featured in custom videos on their individual AAS Winner webpage and on the AAS YouTube channel.

Editor's note: As AAS announces more 2027 AAS Winners, this page will be updated with the additional winners.
