Product Description
Product Description
As part of the "Pan Garden Plant" series, this second volume on perennials covers plants that flower in the late summer and autumn. This book includes photographs of over 1250 perennials from around the world, both wild and cultivated, as well as text describing the plant's origins, characteristics, frost hardiness and favoured growing conditions. Volume one of this series looks at early perennials. Roger Phillips won the Andre Simon Prize for "Wild Food" in 1983 and is the author of "Wild Flowers", "Trees", "Mushrooms" and "Roses and Shrubs".
About the Author
In 1975 Roger Phillips began his life’s major work of photographing and publishing pictures of the world’s garden plants. He set out to develop an encyclopedic collection of books to show the difference between plants as diverse as mosses, roses and annuals. His first book, Wild Flowers of Britain (1977), was a huge success, selling 400,000 copies in the first year. He has since written 20 additional volumes (often with his co-author Martyn Rix) selling over 6million copies worldwide. His latest book is Mushrooms. Roger has written and presented two major six-part TV series on gardening (BBC & Channel 4). Famed for his ebullient personality and garish red glasses, he has become a well-recognised figure in the world of gardening.

This book is volume 2 of a superb set. See the review for Perennials: Early Perennials v.1: Early Perennials Vol 1 (Pan garden plant series) To my mind this is the best treatment of the subject currently available for the enthusiastic gardener.

For the price the book was very good value and will suit the needs of the person I purchased the book for. As a family we have purchased several second hand gardening books to assist a relative in achieving his gardening qualification and this book was probably the worst 'good' rated secondhand book we have received as the spine was quite bent and torn.
Listmania!
