5.0 out of 5 stars The new bible of garden perennials, 7 Sep 2006
This review is from: RHS Encyclopedia of Perennials (Hardcover)
I saw an advance copy of this encyclopedia and it is spectacular. It says there are over 5000 plants described, but it's actually almost 7000! It's the only perennials encyclopedia written in such an easy and accessible manner, without all the technical jargon and botanical terms that trip you up - you can actually read the descriptions and enjoy them, with the writers the most knowledgable in their fields. The book is enhanced throughout with sidebar boxes that add a lot of new details and help you understand new trends, invasive plants, orchids, name changes and so much more. Thousands of excellent pictures let you see what's being talked about. Editor Graham Rice has done the impossible and created a new classic. This is an absolute must for the bookshelf, and will be used over and over and over again.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Real Stunner, 30 Oct 2007
By J. Brown (Northampton, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: RHS Encyclopedia of Perennials (Hardcover)
I bought this book over a year ago and it is an absolute stunner of a reference guide for the beginner as well as the more knowledgeable. Not only is a full description given of each plant with pictures, but also a great deal of information on plant combinations - a lot of good ideas to pinch and put in your own garden. The large photographs at the beginning of each chapter are superb. I wouldn't be without this classic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use and above all helpful, 16 Sep 2007
By R. J. Hunter (Devon, England and Oregon, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: RHS Encyclopedia of Perennials (Hardcover)
The photos are good, and large enough to be useful. Every few pages there is a gardenscape picture showing how various plants look in combination, which I have found really helpful in deciding which cultivar would 'fit in' best. A great book to browse
