As the director of ornamental plant research at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chicagobotanic.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chicago Botanic Garden<\/a>, he has researched, monitored, and written about more plants than most experts in the field. Most of these plants are part of CBG\u2019s comparative trials, which is the best way to measure one plant\u2019s merits against those of other similar plants. However, Richard\u2019s reputation as Mr. Plant has also given him the opportunity to trial several brand-new cultivars\u2014even if they do not fit seamlessly into an ongoing or upcoming trial. The following three perennials fall into this camp but performed so well that Richard felt they were report-worthy.<\/p>\n<p>To see the rest of the best new perennials trialed at CBG recently, keep an eye out for Richard\u2019s upcoming feature in <em>Fine Gardening<\/em>\u2019s Summer 2026 issue.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_226104\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-226104\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/06130754\/02-RGMW-Achillea-millefolium-Balvinterra-flowers-1-PD.jpg\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-226104\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The latest color in the New Vintage\u2122 yarrow series ranges from peachy orange to yellow throughout the growing season.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>1.

I commended them for years for their uniformity, strong colors, and flower power. We have purposely not evaluated many common yarrow cultivars since, but I couldn\u2019t say no when New Vintage\u2122 Terracotta was offered to our trials. What a beauty! The peachy orange flowers keep coming from late June to mid-August, fading to shades of yellow before turning brown in September. At peak, the copious flowers\u2014a delightful mix of soft earthy tones\u2014conceal the lacy green foliage completely. As with others in the series, I am impressed by its strong, uniform habit. In 2025, the plants were 36 inches tall, and 46 inches wide measured across the broad floral canopy. And while there is no guarantee of what rabbits will eat, two neighboring yarrow cultivars are their favorite food, while Terracotta has been left alone!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_226105\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-226105\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/06130757\/03-RGMW-Hosta-Silly-String-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-226105\" src=\"https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/06130757\/03-RGMW-Hosta-Silly-String-4.jpg\" alt=\"Silly String hosta in bloom\" width=\"1200\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/06130757\/03-RGMW-Hosta-Silly-String-4.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/06130757\/03-RGMW-Hosta-Silly-String-4-700x438.jpg 700w, https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/06130757\/03-RGMW-Hosta-Silly-String-4-768x480.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-226105\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A hosta with blooms as striking as its funky foliage<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>2. \u2018Silly String\u2019 hosta<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_226106\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-226106\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/06130759\/04-RGMW-Hosta-Silly-String-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-226106\" src=\"https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/06130759\/04-RGMW-Hosta-Silly-String-2.jpg\" alt=\"silly string hosta foliage\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/06130759\/04-RGMW-Hosta-Silly-String-2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/06130759\/04-RGMW-Hosta-Silly-String-2-700x840.jpg 700w, https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/06130759\/04-RGMW-Hosta-Silly-String-2-768x922.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"\/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-226106\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The squiggly blue leaves of \u2018Silly String\u2019 make this plant a textural powerhouse.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Name:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finegardening.com\/genus\/hosta\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Hosta<\/em><\/a> \u2018Silly String\u2019<\/p>\n<p><strong>Zones:<\/strong> 3\u20139<\/p>\n<p><strong>Size:<\/strong> Up to 14 inches tall and 28 inches wide<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conditions:<\/strong> Light, open shade; moist, rich, compost-enhanced soil<\/p>\n<p>There was a time when I paid little to no attention to the endless varieties of ho-hum hostas.
