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 )

Perhaps the BEST book for Houston and Gulf Coast Gardeners,
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Always a great resource,

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,
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.
