This indispensable book lists the most useful summer perennials. From the familiar campanulas,
delphiniums and hardy geraniums to the more obscure doronicum and centranthus, it shows
exactly how to grow each, and which are the best combinations.
I was impressed by The Little Book of Popular Perennials ... which lists 100 perennials, all beautifully illustrated, and gives sensible advice about their cultivation.
