Each and every perennial in this book is an excellent garden plant that is truly worthy of the title perennial all-star.
These are the best perennials because they:
-Are extraordinarily beautiful in bloom.
-Are low maintenance.
-Are fragrant.
-Are very free flowering.
-Have a long season of bloom.
-Have beautiful foliage when they're out of bloom.
-Are pest and disease resistant.
-Are widely adaptable in a variety of climate and soil conditions.
-Are reliably perennial, returning year after year.
Each double-page spread features a specific all-star perennial, tells you fascinating information about it, how to grow it, how to propagate it, where to site it in the garden, and what other plants look good with it. It also lists some other stand-out varieties of that perennial genus. Full color photos of each all-star. Plus sources where you can buy the plant through the mail.
"Jeff Cox has selected the best of the best, and he presents these perennials in a precise, easy-to-understand way. And the information in this book will not become outdated, since an all-star perennial will always remain an all-star. " Andre Viette, President, Andre Viette Perennial Nursery, Fishersville, VA.
"A very welcome addition to books on perennials. Enjoyable and informative!" Frederick McGourty, author of The Perennial Gardener.
