This book is an excellent reference on Perennials. It assists in the identification and maintenance of a wide selection of perennials. I would recommend this book as an addition to the gardening library.

I bought this book years ago when I started gardening. It was wonderful and I still use it periodically. It has nice pictures too.

I give it as a gift to friends who start gardening because they love my book and I am afraid I may not get it back...very useful for new gardeners!

This is an excellent resource. I bought this book when I started gardening and used it to teach myself a good portion of what I know about gardening. 6 years later, I still refer to it when researching new plants. It's got lots of great garden designs included as well a large encyclopedia detailing a lot of perennials. It also has lot's of information including how to treat various plant diseases, how to maintain your soil, how to propogate and maintain your perennials, etc.

I would highly recommend this book to any gardener that uses perennials in their gardens (don't we all???).

I use the book extensively to help me recall the names and other information regarding the perennials I have. The full-color photographs are excellent for identification, and the comments about the various varieties are extensive.
