This is a beautiful book you can trust to provide solid guidance on growing not only perennials, but companion annuals and vines that tolerate hot, humid conditions. Sullivan also presents lots of ideas for creating beautiful gardens in a range of sites, such as deep shade or at the beach. One of my favorite sections is called "Don't even think of growing these plants here," in which she shares wisdom on plants that are doomed in this climate. Every coastal gardener should have this book.

This met many of my needs as I am a novice gardener and new to the coastal South. I also prefer perennials over annuals. The language is easy, and it gives detailed considerations/recommendations by seasons. This will be my key reference book.

We use this book constantly in my gardening club. The master gardener who runs our group believes that everyone who gardens in the south should have a copy. It is so informative and easy to use even for a beginner like myself.

I highly recommend this book for those gardening in the coastal south. I wore my first one out, I used it so much!
