Indispensable reference for perennials. As a beginner gardener, this has taught me a lot of basic principles as far as garden design, soil preparation, light considerations, etc. I often reference it for the alphabetical listing of perennials and am pleased it has a phonetic spelling of the botanical names so I can ask about a particular plant at the nursery without sounding like an idiot. It also lists several common names. The full-color pictures show off the plants very well.
