This review is from: Best Garden Plants for Missouri (Best Garden Plants For...) (Paperback)
This guide provides great information for both the novice gardner and the experienced. It includes all the basic information: height, spread and hardiness but most interesting are the recommendations and descriptions of varieties available. The "tips" on where to plant and also special information such as "divide every 2-3 years to maintain foliage color" will help me to learn more about the care of my plants. The authors also note "Plant of Merit" certification which is helpful in selecting new plants. Overall a very worthwhile reference that will be used often.

Saw this book reviewed in the newspaper and had to order it. It is small and has the most popular plants grown here. These are plants that will grow best and can prevent buying plants that will not survive the winter.

For gardening get the Becky Homan book. This only gives a plant recommendations for each category, and the info is shallow. This could have been populated by someone out of state just matching up the climate zones with recommended plans.
