Gardeners catalog

I was very pleased with this book, it is truly amazing in that it not only lists plants in their flowering type, height and flowering season but in color too eg: Want to make a Yellow,Blue or Red flowering bed? Great if you want to establish a herbacious border. The clarity of the 1000's of photographs is outstanding. Each plant has beside it's photo a detailed description of habit, cultivation and propagation. If there is to be only one book in your collection on perenials it should be this one.

Beautiful encyclopedia of perennials

As a librarian and book reviewer with a speciality in gardening literature, I see a lot of perennials books come and go. The strength of this new title lies in the super DK photography and interesting arrangement by use in the perennial border - not a strict A-Z dictionary of plants. I found the selection of plants both comprehensive and up-to-date in terms of including new cultivars. This would be an excellent choice for someone seeking a current and beautiful encyclopedia of perennials.
