Have you got any new plants this year worth bragging about? I recently planted some daylilies that are in full bloom right now! What about you?

My favorite new plants this year are two diminutive primrose species, bird's eye primroses (primula mistassinica and primula laurentiana). I didn't expect much, considering my zone is a bit warm for them, but they were the most enchanting little fairy plants. They bloomed well and the small silvery foliage has only just started getting a bit tattered with heat. Next year, I'll have to add more and group them much closer together! I'm hoping they'll persist in the garden or at least reseed themselves, since I've read they aren't dependably perennial.
