A book of inspiration for the perennial gardener

I have pored over the pages of this book and learned volumes from it. Hobhouse's discussion of color theory and its relationship to the garden is a revelation, and her suggestions and illustrations of garden companions are inspirational. When you get serious about designing your borders, this is essential reading.
