Caring for Perennials : What to Do and When to Do It
Armitage's Garden Perennials : A Color Encyclopedia
by Allan M. Armitage
Allan Armitage and Michael Dirr are colleagues on the horticulture faculty at the University of Georgia, Athens, and both are among the most influential figures in the plant world today. Each is the author of a definitive textbook: Armitages Herbaceous Perennial Plants and Dirrs Manual of Woody Landscape Plants have gone through several editions and are used in hundreds of college courses. In 1997 we published Dirrs Hardy Trees and Shrubs, a highly illustrated and very personal encyclopedia intended for gardeners, landscape architects, and the nursery trade rather than for students. Already in its tenth printing, it has been phenomenally successful. Armitages Garden Perennials is an equivalent treatment, the most comprehensive single-volume photographic resource on perennial plants. It describes and illustrates the choice of perennials in 136 genera from Acanthus to Zauschneria. The books greatest strengths are the quality of its more than 1400 photographs, all taken by the author, and the exhaustive information on the most interesting, important, or overlooked perennial plants. Based on his own extensive experiencehe has gardened in climates as dissimilar as Quebec and Georgia and studied plants on three continentsArmitage makes a discerning selection of the best cultivars, from classics to cutting-edge recent introductions. The text is concise and delightful, like a private tutorial with a master teacher. The reader will have no doubt about which plants the author most admires ("What else do you know that is big, bold, and beautiful and wants to be planted in a bog?") and which fall short ("Variegated coral bells like Snowstorm ought to be trashed. I am constantly told how wonderful they are. I dont listen. To each his own".). The encyclopedia is rounded out by more than a dozen extensive lists of plants suitable for particular situations or uses, including plants for wet places, for drought tolerance, and for fragrance or color. It is a noteworthy addition to Timber Presss acclaimed series of pictorial encyclopedias that includes Dirrs Hardy Trees and Shrubs and Rick Darkes Color Encyclopedia of Ornamental Grasses.

I am a lousy gardener. What I know about gardening could be summarized in a few words: "Plant something and hope for the best." Yet, I love to garden, and keep trying year after year in my tiny flowerbeds around the street trees in a sea of concrete here in San Francisco. I don't even bother to attempt planting annuals or growing things from seed, but for years I've been experimenting with perennials to see if I can find something that will survive for more than one year out there in the urban jungle. If I'd had this book years ago, I might have been successful a long time ago. For me, it's a walking tour of everything I have done wrong. For you, it can be a guidebook to doing things right from the get-go! Amazon.com
