Review Quote
"If you don't have a horticulture background, are too busy to take the master gardener program, and wonder about the nuts and bolts of gardening, read this book."
"A practical book filled with the details of how to care for perennials..."
"Well worth revisiting, with more than 200 new photos and a 32-page journal section in which you can enter details, notes, and observations about the requirements and performances of perennials in your own garden."
"This book raise[s] gardeners' awareness through its refusal to pull punches or let the central tenets get lost in thickets of flowery prose. It's probably the most down-and-dirty book on gardening I've ever read."
"The plant expert Tracy DiSabato-Aust says that slightly tender plants, like certain asters, chrysanthemums and ferns, benefit from the layer of protection their dead tops offer during the winter. And their seeds are also beneficial to the birds."
"[This book] is number one on my list of must-read gardening books because it takes the mystery out of how to become a first-class perennial gardener."
“The must-have book on perennial care, species-by-species.”
