One of the features I would like to see is the development of perennials
with longer bloom times.  We already see this with the likes of Stella d'Oro
hemerocallis, which is, unfortunately becoming much overused IMO.

I live in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area, and with increasingly tight budget
constraints, the parks department has had to cut back on the colorful
boulevard plantings, which dot our city.  The use of perennials with longer
blooming periods would be of much benefit in that respect.
