Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
Paul Aden, who has introduced dozens of new hostas into cultivation, wrote six chapters and contributed many photographs to this classic. Other contributors include John Elsley, Yoshimichi Hirose, Graham Stuart Thomas, and André Viette. This was the first contemporary book on hostas and played a role in helping to bring these versatile shade-lovers to their current level of popularity.

4 out of 5 stars How to grow Hosta's   July 10, 2006
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

This is an excelent book for learning about hosta's and how to care for them. This has been my reference book for years, great book for the new hosta enthusiast or just a great guide to introduce Hosta's into your garden. A wealth of valuable information! Master gardener B. Chauvin


3 out of 5 stars Not for the more advanced   July 18, 2005
 7 out of 7 found this review helpful

The coverage text was broad based and general. Didn't devel into the more complicated issues I was looking for go. But it would be great for a beginner hosta fan.


1 out of 5 stars Useless   August 19, 2004
 7 out of 8 found this review helpful

A very useless book if you are looking for what ails Hosta's and what to do about these problems. If you are having any problems, don't waste your money on this book as I have.


5 out of 5 stars Great Pictures   April 30, 2000
 22 out of 22 found this review helpful

This book excels at having a large number of good pictures of a wide variety of hostas. The text is secondary.


4 out of 5 stars Excellent information and beautifully illustrated!   July 13, 1999

I found this book both informational and wonderfully illustrated with gorgeous colored photographs throughout. Most gardeners should thoroughly enjoy this book which has many garden design ideas as well.
