Portulaca grandiflora 'Sundial Pink' (Benary)
The plants in this series formed an attractive ground cover. The amount of flowers this series put out throughout the season was impressive, especially given how incredibly wet and rainy it was. Of the six colors, the Coral and Light Pink were favorites.

Dahlia 'City Lights Neon' (Selecta One)
The contrast between the dark leaves of this Dahlia and the vivid magenta-colored flowers is striking. It has a tidy, compact habit with good branching, and bloomed nearly continuously. It was also mildew-free through August, a bonus this wet summer.

Bracteantha 'Granvia Gold' (Suntory Flowers)
This is a vigorous plant with large, cheerful, and abundant flowers. It performed extremely well, until the copious amounts of rain the area experienced this summer finally became too much. In a normal year, this would certainly have been on the top performers list.
