Product Description

Review
"Betsy (Clebsch) has continued her research and documentation of this endlessly fascinating group of plants. The result is "The New Book of Salvias" -- and a superior book it is ... but it is her engrossing story of each salvia that will inspire the reader to add just a few more to the garden."
--Pacific Horticulture, Fall 2003

Product Description
Following the success of Betsy Clebsch's first book on salvias comes this expanded edition. The author has added over 50 new species and cultivars such as Salvia castanea and S. recurva, bringing the total to approximately 150 garden-worthy species.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Sage, 19 Aug 2008
By emma who reads a lot (London) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
Betsy Clebsch knows loads about these wonderful plants, and she loves them too. You can sense her excitement when she says she's been able to include 50 or so new species and cultivars in this new edition (first published 2003, now out in a new paperback).

Most of the book is a typically great Timber Press production, following the standard format of going through the plants as individual species and cultivars, discussing wild origins, merits, tips for cultivation. Almost every plant is illustrated with a colour photo. Detailed hints on cultivars are particularly useful - S.leucantha "Santa Barbara" is more compact than "Midnight", for example. Under S. guaranitica, Clebsch gives Penelope Hobhouse's cultural advice for Britain as well as her own for North America. She's also good at recommending plant combinations, though I have to admit many aren't quite to my taste...

Reading this book I came to think of Betsy Clebsch as this really nice friendly woman who is sharing all her hard-earnt knowledge. Her little details about famous Salvia breeders and collectors give the text a lively quality that's surprising in such an encyclopedic book. If you like Salvias at all, and you like to know a lot about the plants you grow, you will really enjoy this book (and probably will quickly find yourself googling unusual ones to see where you can buy them... So potentially, an expensive purchase....)
