Editorial Review Product Description Large plantings of perennial flowers can cost tens of thousands of dollars in large gardens or public parks. Even smaller-scale designers and landscapers can't afford to guess wrong when setting up flower beds that have to look their best on cue. This is the only book available to provide an authoritative, deeply researched guide to flowering time for more than 450 perennial flowers. No designer, landscaper, or public garden can afford to be without it. When Perennials Bloom is based on groundbreaking research on the exact bloom time of particular flowers from around the world—from Moscow to Missouri. Organized alphabetically by flower and including detailed charts and graphs, this book presents a system to predict the groupings of flowers that will reliably bloom at the same time. Introductory chapters explain the seasonal development of various perennial plants, the response of plants to weather conditions, and basic concepts of phenology—the timing of natural phenomena. Detailed descriptions illustrated with stunning photographs, recommendations for garden use, analysis of bloom times, and graphs showing month-by-month bloom time round out this comprehensive title. Whether you're a home gardener who wants to plan an effective perennial border or a nursery, design, or landscape professional whose career survival depends on a plant's peak display, you will find this carefully compiled book to be an indispensable tool.

Disappointed with the delivery
A Truly Exceptional Work Whereas "A-Z" has as many pages as this work, it includes every type of plant - woodies, vines, conifers, annuals, perennials, water plants - you name it.Obviously you're getting a lot more entries on the narrowed down topic of herbaceous perennials in Jelitto & Schachts' book.You'll find more obscure perennials included in this work than in A-Z. The entries are also more interesting than A-Z's.Each entry is from the author's first hand knowledge of the plant, more along the line of what you might find in Dirr's and Armitage's writings.However, they do also stick to the facts as in A-Z, so you do get the information you need, as in in origin, zone, plant requirements.A-Z is more clinical. Since the book was written many years ago (this edition was updated in 1990 when it was translated from the German), some of the photos are black and white, though many are color.And, since the translation was done in 1990, taxonomic changes that occurred after that date are missing.Neither of these points is a drawback to buying this book.All the photography is excellent and, well, names change all the time, so even A-Z needs updating. One last point to be made is that we in the United States tend to feel perhaps a little too self important.This is why A-Z is considered the 'best' by many US readers.While I wouldn't give up my copy of A-Z, I don't restrict my library to US publications.There is a huge amount of information originating in Europe and on other continents that never makes its way here.This does not reduce its value, just makes it less available unless we reach beyond the US.I have a friend who bought a shrub here in a US nursery and could find no info on it.It wasn't in A-Z or Dirr.The first 3 books I pulled off my shelf had it; two from the UK and one from Australia. In conclusion, "Hardy Herbaceous Perennials" is one of the best additions I've made to my library in a long time.The price is a bit steep, but worth it.

Editorial Review Product Description Customer Reviews (5)
Very disappointing... In addition, many of the photos are out of focus and thecorresponding descriptions are often incomplete. The descriptions ofspecific grasses are very brief and many very popular grasses are notincluded at all. I have never been more disappointed with a book purchaseof any kind on any topic.
Not a great reference book First, the book is suppose to be about grasses,yet 25% of the text discusses garden flowers. Second, many of the photosare cluttered or blurred. There were few species specific photos thatdisplayed a single clear crisp grass variety. Third, the book rambles andtakes the long way to discribe a simple observation. Some readers willenjoy this style, but it's not for me. I want something that gets to thepoint. Fourth, the species reference (called 'Selected Plant Catalogue'),is sparse and dated. For example, Calamagrostis x acutiflora 'Overdam' iscovered in just three words, 'outstanding variegated form'. Gee ... somehowI was expecting more information. There is not one photo of Overdam in theentire book. Likewise, there is no photo of Festuca glauca 'Elijah Blue'.These are two very popular grasses to have been leftout. On the positiveside, there are some neat winter photographs of grasses, and the bookcontains some useful information (but it is difficult to find it when youneed it). This is the kind of book that you're suppose to sit and readfrom cover to cover. A pleasure reading book. Not what I do with gardenbooks, I read them rather like an encyclopedia - and this is not a goodchoice for a reference book.
Excellent explanation and examples of mature plantings
Excellent writing and pictures of ornamental grasses
The most complete book you could buy for ornamental grasses. They approach the subject from a landscape design frame of reference, how to work grasses into your garden.This information is usually only available through your own trial and error.King and Oudolf take out the guesswork.What puts this book a step above all others about the same subject is that it informs its readers how to plant in combination with other perennial flowers.The 161 color photos and very thorough coverage of ornamental grasses and their companions make this the most complete package you could buy for incorporating these graceful, ornamental features into your design. ...
