Product Description
In the tradition of his classic Herbaceous Perennial Plants, Armitage has compiled descriptions and assessments of 245 genera of true annuals as well as plants that behave like annuals in USDA zones 1--7. Focusing on identifying the plants, successful culture, and their primary garden attributes, Armitage discusses 279 species in detail and summarizes the distinguishing features of hundreds of cultivars. Each entry is liberally sprinkled with strong and sometimes amusing opinions, and the book includes useful lists that make it a practical guide for the dedicated home gardener.
Book Description
Similar in format to previous full-color references from Timber Press such as Dirr's Hardy Trees & Shrubs & Conifers, this will be the most comprehensive photo resource available for ever-popular perennials.

 Gardens Are Good February 5, 2010
Aristotel M. Psitos (Fairfax Va)
I have browsed through this collection of information. It clearly describes perennials in an informative manner with descriptions that even a novice gardener (like myself) can follow. I strongly recommend this as part of any library.

I wanted a book that had a section of height and description of the flowers and how long the blooming season is and whether it did well in sun or shade. I would like to have been able to just open to the flower and find that information all in one place, but I have to read through the entire information on that particular plant to find all of this, so the book is not as useful to me as I thought it was going to be. It takes up too much of my time to find out what I want to know. I would like a better description of the books so I know more if it is what I want before I buy it.

Good pictures and good information. Useful as a book to show clients a picture of plants in a plan. Could use a consistent, easy to find section on the plant requirements. As a reference for designing this would help in finding appropriate plants for the project at hand.

This is a nice book but not what I thought it was going to be. I am taking an online course for Perennials and this book was suggested as a suppliment to the textbook. It is a nice picture book that you can use to identify a flower.
