Description

This volume contains Christopher Lloyd's reflections on a gardener's main material - perennial herbaceous plants from Acanthus to Zigadenus. Covering over 1000 plants, with common names, descriptions and judgements on species and varieties, he outlines how to choose perennials, and what not to choose. Most encyclopaedias show garden plants impartially, but Lloyd goes further. With every group he discriminates, appraises, warns, speculates and experiments.
