| I can't believe they put those plants in the top 10 plants since 1913. That list is terrible. "Rozanne" is ok, but I wouldn't even put it in the Top 20 plants. I know others like it a lot, but I haven't been that impressed with it. Yucca 'Color Guard' isn't on the list and it looks good year-round with no effort at all! There are also many better Heucheras than the one they selected. |

| To be fair echinaceamaniac I think they are selecting the top 10 plants only considering those that have been 'launched' at the Chelsea Flower Show (since its inception in 1913). |

| Thanks for that explanation. I knew something had to be wrong. LOL. |

| Maybe it would make more sense to have the subject line read Plant of the Cetenary rather than 'perennial'. Only a few of the plants listed are considered herbaceous perennials - the others are trees and shrubs. Most horticulturists consider those plants to be exceptional performers - "good doers" is the expression typically used..........echinaceamaniac's personal opinion to the contrary :-) And these are amatuer gardeners nominating their favorites. Not exactly something that has the sanction of the garden show or RHS itself. |

| Maybe it would make more sense to have the subject line read Plant of the Cetenary rather than 'perennial' I had tried to change it earlier but one cannot edit the "subject of a posting". Not a glaring error given that if one is interested all is revealed when one visits that link. |

| After 100 years, someone gardening for almost 40 should have at least heard of them all before. Maybe they are more well known on the other side of the pond. |
