{"title":"How Are These Hardy!?","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYou'd never guess these plants survive an Ohio winter — but they do, year after year. This collection brings together the most surprisingly hardy plants we carry: tropical bananas, dramatic cannas, dinner plate hibiscus, fruiting kiwi vine, and clumping bamboo. Each one delivers the bold, lush look of a tropical or exotic garden without the replanting. Come see them in person at either location — some plants you really do have to see to believe.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"actinidia-hardy-anna-kiwi-2-gallon","title":"Actinidia | Hardy Anna Kiwi - 2-Gallon","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHardy Kiwi Anna is a vigorous climbing vine that produces an abundance of small, smooth-skinned kiwi fruit — no peeling required. Unlike the fuzzy kiwi you find at the grocery store, these are sweet, tender, and eaten whole right off the vine. Reliably hardy in Ohio, this is a true perennial that comes back every year and gets more productive with age. It needs a male pollinator (Hardy Kiwi Male) to fruit, so make sure to grab one of each. Plant it where it has room to climb and something sturdy to climb on — this vine is a showstopper in full leaf and an absolute conversation piece even before it starts fruiting.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berns Garden Center","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48069233639643,"sku":"ACTANAKIW2G","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"actinidia-hardy-male-kiwi-2-gallon","title":"Actinidia | Hardy Male Kiwi - 2-Gallon","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHardy Kiwi Male is the essential pollinator for your Anna Hardy Kiwi vine. One male plant will pollinate up to eight female vines, making it one of the hardest working plants in the garden. Like the Anna, it's a vigorous climber that's hardy in Ohio and comes back reliably every year. It won't produce fruit on its own, but without it your Anna won't produce either — think of it as the behind-the-scenes partner that makes the whole thing work. Glossy green leaves and red stems make this a wonderful landscape plant even without the fruit. Plant it within 50 feet of your female vine in a sunny spot with something sturdy to climb.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berns Garden Center","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48069233672411,"sku":"ACTMALKIW2G","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"banana-basjoo-1-gallon","title":"Banana | Basjoo - 1 Gallon","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBananas are the perfect addition to any garden, adding a vibrant and exotic touch to your landscape.
