Food for Thought-- perennial plant names related to food

Those who know me know I like food, so why not a quiz with food names? Test your perennial cultivar knowledge, and hopefully learn a few new selections in the process! Match the description in the left column with the correct cultivar in the right column. Then check against answers at the bottom. For photos of many, check out some of the specialty nurseries in your area or online, or just type the name into a search engine like Google.
