"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
This is a user-friendly guide to the challenges and joys of perennial gardening -- less than a botanical encyclopedia, but much more than a volume of garden or species descriptions. The authors' approach will resolve the quandries of those new to perennials as well as meet the needs of the sophisticated horticulturist.
It's no secret that people choose perennials over all other decorative plant species because of their longevity, their splendor, the stories and memories they evoke. The Hills educate and inspire with information that is complete and easily accessible: they tell how to divide and propagate your perennials, how to keep them pest and disease free; how to use them to best advantage; and how to maximize your enjoyment of them by cutting and drying them, growing a child's garden or a butterfly and hummingbird garden, or giving the flowers and plants as gifts. Everything is here:
* a complete section on perennial care and cultivation
* 16 theme gardens
* more than 150 species descriptions
* full-color photographs
* species illustrations
* a glossary of gardening terms
Enhanced by color photographs, drawings, and charts, the real worth of this book is the text: the Hills inimitable style has wit, charm, and clarity. Their previous works (Cold-Climate Gardening, Secrets of Plant Propagation, Pruning Simplified, and others) have earned them a solid reputation among gardeners. This book is sure to become a treasured and valuable gardening resource.
