Product Description

Review
"'Between the first and last pages of this well-produced book has been condensed a wealth of information hitherto scattered through many volumes, plus the invaluable knowledge and experience of the author.... This is a book to buy, to enjoy and to be constantly used.' The Garden; 'One of the most important gardening books of our age.' Daily Telegraph"

Product Description
Hailed as a classic from its first publication, Perennial Garden Plants is the most comprehensive and detailed survey ever undertaken for gardeners. Over 2,000 species are described and practical information is given on planting, seasonal flowering, colour, propagation and cultivation as well as on the origins of plants. In addition, Graham Stuart Thomas covers a wealth of related subjects, including display, shad and moisture, tender plants, pests and diseases, and other useful lists and suggestions for particular need. Throughout this masterly work, Graham Stuart Thomas conveys his immense experience of plants and gardens to provide the standard work of reference on the subject.

First Sentence
Of the plants mentioned in this book I have grown some nine-tenths, either handled personally in my own garden, in the University Botanic Garden, Cambridge, or in nurseries, or only by proxy in such places or in the gardens of the National Trust, and have been closely observing plants since school days. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars for the plantsman/woman, 6 Feb 2007
By Mrs. Wm Saunders - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is not a book for the beginner, but if the beginner gets hooked on gardening then this is an excellent resource. He personal taste in plants can be detected after some time BUT what is invaluable is his evaluation of a plant and its cultural requirements. I think this book is very reliable and when you need to consult an expert there he is on your bookshelf which will help to choose between one plant and the next or between different species.

4.0 out of 5 stars All text no photos, 25 April 2006
By Mr. Ross Maynard (Glasgow, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This guide to garden perennials provides a very well written synopsis of many garden plants. It is very readable. Sadly there are no photos of the plants and only a few line drawings. You'll need to refer to your RHS guide as well to get the picture of the plants. This is probably a book for the enthusiastic collector rather than the beginner. Photos are essential in my view and the RHS and other guides provide those.
