[Ruric Amhari · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very text heavy guide to perennials, few photos and some line drawings for illustration. Book presented in sections relating to seasons: winter into spring, spring, summer and latecomers. Useful if you are familiar with a number if plants, much more difficult if you are more visually orientated.
