Perennials: A Gardener's Reference answers these and many other questions for more than 2,700 species and cultivars in 250 genera, making it one of the most comprehensive guides available. The informative text is enlivened throughout by the authors' wide-ranging experience with perennials and by Lynne Harrison's sumptuous photographs. Whether you're a beginning gardener, a seasoned expert, or a green-industry professional, Perennials: A Gardener's Reference will be the book you turn to again and again for essential information about these supremely beautiful and useful plants.
Seattle-based gardeners Carter, Carrie Becker, and Bob Lilly have co-authored a practical A-Z guide to perennials that gardeners will find both stimulating and easy to use. Each entry contains a color photo and initial description by one of the authors, often with personal notes about the plant's characteristics in the garden, followed by information on its names, origins, habitat, management, propagation, pest and disease, companions, and addition notes. Each entry also contains a table of species and cultivars giving statistics on height and spread, hardiness zone, bloom time, foliage, and comments on each. Oversized: 9x11.25".
