Hardy Perennials

by Graham Rice

Now in paperback, this is a delightful book in which a well-known English plantsman makes a season-by-season selection of perennials, describes them evocatively, reveals their histories, and provides ideas on how to grow them successfully and use them imaginatively in the garden. A wonderful combination of entertainment and instruction.

[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.
