Welsh gives all of the necessary details to ensure your [gardening] success. (Yard and Garden )

Consider this: A plant that produces beautiful flowers, survives the extremes of Texas weather to live for years (or even decades), doesn't require a lot of pampering and multiplies itself. Now wonder there's a renewed interest in perennials. (Carol Nuckols Fort Worth Star-Telegram )

If you could have only one book about perennials in the South, this is the one. It includes pertinent cultural information as well as handsome pictures for identification and inspiration. (Lois Chaplin Southern Living )

Perennial Garden Color has great photos and is especially good at relating the old fashioned plants such as antique roses and bulbs to the modern landscape... a good resource and a good read. (Dr. Calvin finch Austin American-Statesman )

5.0 out of 5 stars Perhaps the BEST book for Houston and Gulf Coast Gardeners, March 9, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Perennial Garden Color (Hardcover)
You will enjoy the many discoveries this book has to offer and it is beautifully illustrated with a color photograph and planting recommendations for every plant. I cannot recommend a better book for a Houston or Gulf Coast gardener, either expert or new comer, and I have read them all! It focuses on plants that truly do well HERE. It skips azaleas, hybrid roses, tulips and all the other fussy plants pushed by the local nurseries do great anywhere but here. Instead it offers beautiful and underused (and for the most part - EASY) alternatives.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Perennial Garden Color (Hardcover)
I purchased this book for a friend as I have had a copy for years. It is still one of Dr. Welch's best books and a wealth of useful easy to read information for plant selection for a perennial garden.

5.0 out of 5 stars It gave me courage, March 2, 2008
By 
Miss Birdie (Bryan, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Perennial Garden Color (Hardcover)
This is my favorite gardening book, and the one that gave me the courage to start ripping out the grass and planting ornamentals. I've referred to it so often, the binding is now loose. Welch's vast experience with plants that can stand up to sometimes-brutal Southern conditions is invaluable. Exceedingly helpful general and specific information on a large variety of plants to brighten your landscape.
