5.0 out of 5 stars
The most complete color encyclopedia of periennials!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Taylor's Guide to Perennials (Taylor's Gardening Guides) (Paperback)
This book is arranged like a bird-identifier book-- color plates in the front arranged by flower color with plant details referenced in the back of the book. The color plates are clear, good color quality, and provide close-ups of the flowers. Pen and ink drawings of plant profiles, leaf structures, and distinguishing features enhance the books ability to help the reader identify "what plant is this?" If you're looking for detailed growing conditions or a "how to", get another book. But if you're looking for a thorough, easy-to-carry-to- the-localgarden-nursery book, to identify plants and the flowers they will yield then this book is for you! I have tons of books on periennals, but this is the one that never fails me when I need to ID a plant or flower.

Taylor's Guide to perenials,
By Kristina Hare (Maryland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Taylor's Guide to Perennials (Taylor's Gardening Guides) (Paperback)
I am very new to gardening and found this book very helpful. It is cut and dry! The plants are listed in alphabetical order explaining where to plant them and how to care for them. It also describes when and if to trim them back and if dead heading is needed. I also enjoyed how one section of the book organized plants based on color.

A Must Have for Gardeners,
By A Customer
This review is from: Taylor's Guide to Perennials (Taylor's Gardening Guides) (Paperback)
I have many helpful gardening books but this one is the one I always come back to. It's best for identitifying plants or finding the perfect plant for certain conditions. Great photos and lots of them!
