Why not choose from among the best varieties of a plant? The RHS takes pride in trialling varieties in order to make recommendations, and it has a catalogue of those varieties that have been awarded the AGM. It is not perfect for all the many extra thousands of varieties around the world, but it can be a useful reference for us.

None of my work has gone into this, but here is the page that drops you into 82 pages of recommendations of ornamentals for everything from Abelia to Zygopetalum.

There are also recommendations for orchids, fruits, and vegetables.
