Better Homes
and Gardens Perennials for Today's
Gardens
by C.
Colston Burrell Better Homes
and Gardens has issued what may be the
perfect book on perennials. Perennials
for Today's Gardens contains all the
details a gardener could need or want:
gorgeous, full-page color photos of each
of the 100 perennials covered; written
descriptions of each plant; a history of
the name and the plant's propagation;
planting guidelines (including the
correct soil conditions, drought
tolerance, sun and shade requirements,
spacing and placement tips, friendly
companion plantings, and hardiness
according to zones); and information on
related species.
In addition,
we get sections on design (focusing on
color, form, texture, fragrance,
luminescence, and seasonality), design
partners (shrubs and trees, structure,
water, ornaments), garden ecology
(pattern, process, light, soil, and
moisture), and "putting it all
together" (creating space,
combinations, layering) The perennials
themselves are grouped into sections on
shade, partial shade, and sun, so you
immediately know where to look for the
perfect plant for that shady backyard
spot or the full sun of the front yard.
Perennials will suit the gardener ready
to create stunning, easy-care garden
plots that will bring joy year after
year.
