Customer Reviews

essential book for the deep south gardener

Gardeners in the southeast have a totally different environment from the rest of the country and this book comprehensively addresses those issues. This book contains listings of both rare and common plants that are excellent for the southern and/or tropical garden. The book also deals with issues posed by gardening in the southeast. Many of the plants discussed are coming back in popularity as specialty annuals for the northern gardeners as well. Highly recommended for anyone living in or moving to Florida and the Deep South.
