Southern Living Garden Guide Shrubs,
By A Customer
This review is from: Shrubs (Southern Living Garden Guides) (Paperback)
This is a good resource guide for anyone who has questions about shrubs. The planting guides, soil requirements, watering tips, sunlight needs, etc. all play a big factor in the success of any plants, especially the ones that require a little extra care for outside growth.

A bible for the southern gardener,
By GC0110 (North Carolina) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Shrubs (Southern Living Garden Guides) (Paperback)
I've lived all my life in the north, and so I know northern gardening well. However, I moved to southeastern N. Carolina 3 years ago, and discovered that it's a whole different world for gardening, given the intensity of heat and humidity. Plus, in New England I learned how to make plants grow in rocky soil. Here the trick is to get anything to grow in sand.
This was the first garden guide book I bought, and four more followed - and this is the only one I constantly use. I've landscaped my entire yard based on its advice. It gives all the common shrubs, shows what they look like in color pictures, offers information on the kind of soil they like (acidic, sandy, well drained, etc.), light requirements, which bugs they're vulnerable too... I lost the book when I left it at a garden center accidentally - and I immediately came to Amazon to get another copy. For information on growing southern shrubs this is the place to go.
