FROM THE PUBLISHER:
- Horticulturists, students, and
dedicated home gardeners will be familiar with Armitage's authority on this
topic from his more technical Manual of Annuals, Biennials, and Half-Hardy
Perennials. That volume was singled out as a winner of the Choice Academic
Book Award, the American Horticultural Society Book Award, and the Garden
Writers of America Golden Globe Award. While this new offering is a perfect
pictorial companion to the Manual, it also stands alone with its
personal commentary and inspiring advice on the most interesting, important,
or overlooked plants. Armitage selects proven specimens from nearly 200 genera
of plants and evaluates their gardenworthiness and sheer beauty. With humor,
authority, and a wealth of practical experience, Armitage offers invaluable
insights into those plants that truly earn their keep---and a few that do not!
He has illustrated the entries with more than 1300 stunning color photos,
rounded out by more than two dozen helpful lists of plants suitable for
particular situations or uses, including plants for cool-summer areas, plants
for dry situations, edible plants, container plants, shade plants, vines, and
flowers for cutting.
