Have you ever wondered how to plan your garden so that you can enjoy beautiful blooms throughout the gardening seasons? What about properly caring for perennials so that they continue to delight year after year? How about creating and displaying fresh-cut flower arrangements to share with neighbors and friends? Andrews, a master gardener and contributor to Bloom magazine, helps with all that and more in this handy volume. The 25 perennial flower profiles are arranged by season (according to when they bloom), and within each season they are arranged alphabetically by botanical name. Each profile contains a brief description, information about cultivation and care, and even short literary quotations to round it out. Harris's detailed, full-color illustrations provide a touch of whimsy to a book that speaks to hands-on gardeners and armchair enthusiasts alike. The appendixes help the reader identify plants for specific garden needs, e.g., perennials by color, those that are heat- and drought-tolerant or that need constant moisture, those that are deer-resistant or that flower in shade. There is also a short list of mail-order resources. A USDA Plant Hardiness Zone map is also included. Recommended for public libraries and special horticultural libraries serving both new and avid gardeners, especially where there are spring, summer, and fall blooming seasons-and cold winters.9/1/2008 * Library Journal * Writing in an informative, yet casual style, Moya Andrews gives advice on growing flowering perennials in this guide for both novice and experienced gardeners, passing along her broad knowledge of the subject.September 2008 -- Marilyn K.
