The 500 plants listed include old favorites as well as more unusual plants: chive, hollyhock, crown imperial, snowdrop, geranium, water lily, and tomato. Each listing gives a description of the plant and its place of origin; its growth rate and size at maturity; cultivation and propagation instructions; susceptibility to pests and diseases; sun, soil, and moisture requirements; and whether it's suitable for growing in a container. Additional lists help you select plants by their scent; color; performance, including length of flowering season; and their use as design elements. A perfect gardener's reference book.
