Herbaceous Perennial Plants - 4th Edition

By Dr. Allan M. Armitage ©  2020 ISBN 978-1-64617-012-8, SoftcoverISBN 978-1-64617-057-9, Hardcover When the first volume of Herbaceous Perennial Plants was released over 30 years ago, it quickly became a leading resource in the field of horticulture. It was recognized as one of the best 75 books in the last 75 years by the American Horticulture Society. With each new edition, the book has gained in respect and popularity and has since been simply described as the bible of perennial books. The fourth edition differs significantly from the third edition (2008). Dr Armitage has added dozens of new species and hundreds of new cultivars from breeders throughout the world. His comments on morphological characteristics of each species are scientifically sound while simple to understand by any reader. However, the real value of his writing is in his thoughts concerning a plant's garden worthiness. Other significant additions have been the detailed discussions of changes in plant nomenclature
