Rainy Side Gardeners' Featured Book
Perennials, The Gardener's Reference
by Susan Carter, Carrie Becker, and Bob Lilly
Perennials play a central role in today's gardens. Choosing specific plants, however, can be daunting. Is this plant hardy in my area? How big does it get? When does it bloom? Perennials: The 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: The Gardener's Reference will be the book you turn to again and again for essential information about these supremely beautiful and useful plants.
"Those who love flowery landscapes will happily devour [this book]. ... The luscious photographs by Lynne Harrison bring this outstanding reference to life. ... These pages hold a treasure-trove of specific information about less common perennials rarely mentioned even in reference books of this type."
—Ann Lovejoy, Seattle Post-Intelligencer, October 11, 2007
"If you like to go to the garden center with a good idea about which plants will do best in your garden, this volume on herbaceous perennials — it includes 2,700 plants in 250 genera — is one that belongs up there with Michael Dirr's Manual of Woody Landscape Plants."
—Richard Churchill, People Places Plants, Summer 2007
