Recently reivised and with over 1300 photographs by the author illustrating the details of each plant accompany authoritative growing tips and information. Here in one place is everything you will need to know to maintain a well-tended perennial garden. This thorough, user-friendly volume covers such classics as Phlox and Rudbeckia, including several new Arisaemas, Echinaceas, Heucheras, and Podophyllums, extensively describing each plant. Recipient of the American Horticultural Society's National Educator Award, Dr. Armitage travels and lectures widely, and is on the faculty of the University of Georgia, where he teaches and conducts extensive research, evaluating new offerings from flower breeders around the world. He has studied garden plants throughout Canada and the United States, gaining a broad perspective on the growing conditions throughout North America. In Armitage's own words, "This is gardening, not brain surgery. Gardening should always provide far more pleasure than pain." Like a good friend, he is not bashful about sharing personal opinions regarding which plants he prefers and which fail to pique his interest. His perfect blend of technical expertise and warm friendly delivery have earned this pictorial guide to perennials a prominent spot on the bookshelves of serious gardeners for decades.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Climbing plants are hugely underrated—this book with its lively expression of deep knowledge should encourage everyone to grow more of them.” —Noël Kingsbury Climbing plants constitute a huge, and largely untapped, resource for today’s gardeners. Because their habit of growth is primarily vertical, they can be used for utilitarian as well as ornamental purposes like providing privacy, or screening eyesores. In this comprehensive reference, renowned horticulturist Allan Armitage selects and profiles the most useful and attractive climbing plants for a wide range of sites and conditions, from well-known favourites like clematis, morning glories, and wisteria to more unusual plants like Dutchman’s pipe, passion flowers, and the tropical mandevillas. Each profile includes a general description (enlivened by Armitage’s trademark wry humour) along with the plant’s hardiness, plant family, best method of propagation, method of climbing, and etymology of botanical and common names.“Climbing plants are hugely underrated—this book with its lively expression of deep knowledge should encourage everyone to grow more of them.” —Noël Kingsbury
