3.0 out of 5 stars
adequate, but basic; limited appeal, 9 Jun 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hardy Perennials (Paperback)
This is not the type of book that captured my interest. I found it too basic and of limited appeal, although it is a solid work and may be more useful for a beginning gardener.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The "soul" of perennial gardening soars high in Graham Rice!, 28 Jan 1998
By Gardening Girl - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hardy Perennials (Hardcover)
This splendidly written book not only gives you how-to, but why and wherefore, interspersed generously with noted plantsman Graham Rice's wry humor and keen observations. A true pleasure to read, this is at the top of my list for perennial perusing.
Of note: the British Garden Writers Guild named this "Best book on a single subject" the year it was published, and I find it as useful here in the United States - or anywhere in the world plant lovers might live. Do yourself a favor and buy this book.
