Among new plants for next year, a few are stars

There’s a high bar for newly introduced plants. It’s not enough for them to be just good. They have to be superior to the thousands of plants already on the market or offer something different than what’s already available.

And like most years, I can say that of the new plants I’ve been growing this year, many are pretty good, a few are disappointing and only a handful have surpassed that bar of being must-grow plants.
