Pretty informative

The book was very informative and the detail and pictures about the individual perennials was helpful. I was, however, disappointed that many of the larger garden pictures did not identify the various plants utilized. It's hard to duplicate the look if you don't know what the plants are....

The way this book is layed out is great and makes it easy to find the info you are specifically looking for quickly. It uses both common and scientific (Latin?) names, which is a good feature in my book (no pun intended!) It has a very concise section on when & what to deadhead, and what to cut...

Great Resource

I am in agreement with all of the other very positive reviews on the "Well Tended Perennial Garden", this has quickly became my new bible on perennials. The writer is very knowledgeable and opinionated; though at times her personal tastes on plants come through loud and clear. Though there were...
