3.0 out of 5 stars
Good if you live in Europe or warm climates in N. America,
By NancyR "nancyr" (Maine, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Penstemons (Gardener's Guide to Growing Series) (Paperback)
This book was really meant for European growers, or those who are fortunate enough to live in a climate warm enough to grow the wonderful "bedding" penstemons featured in this book. I wish those of us in cold-winter climates had the variety of Penstemon hybrids to choose from that are featured here!The descriptions of the warm-climate hybrids are first-rate. However, the species are lumped together and talked about according to group rather than each being treated individually. Overall, the book is easy to read, has nice photos (mostly of the warm-climate hybrids), and can give the beginner a good introduction to the world of penstemons. I gave the book only three stars because its usefulness for me is pretty limited (I live in a cold climate) and because of its sparse treatment of the species penstemons. |
