This review is from: The Gardener's Guide to Growing Daylilies (Hardcover)
A good reference book for the daylily fancier. The author gives a comprehensive description of the more well known cultivars, and includes both good and bad points. More photographs would have given it five stars.

Authoritative, easily understood introduction to daylilies,
By Morton Morss (Central FL, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Daylilies (Gardener's Guide) (Paperback)
Diana Grenfell's guide to growing daylilies covers daylilies from 551-479 BC to the present. She clearly presents a broad view of this beloved perennial, with excellent insight. From cultivating to breeding, terminology to forms, colors and cultivar recommendations, this book is as good as there is on the subject of daylilies.

As gorgeous to page through as it is useful to refer from,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Daylilies (Gardener's Guide) (Paperback)
Spotlighted with gorgeous color photographs, The Gardener's Guide To Growing Daylilies by gardening expert Diana Grenfell (Co-founder of the British Hosta and Hemerocallis Society) is a solid "how-to" instructional reference book for even the most novice gardening with an eye for these beautiful late-summer flowers. Individual chapters definitively cover the different species and hybrids of Daylilies, garden uses, provide a wealth of meticulous cultivation advice, and so much more. A strongly recommended addition to personal and community library gardening and horticultural reference collections and supplemental reading lists, The Gardener's Guide To Growing Daylilies is as gorgeous to page through as it is useful to refer from.
