Botanica Book

Bursting with information and glorious full-color photographs on every page, this one-of-a-kind botanical guide is the only reference a serious gardener needs. At the heart of the book is an A-Z encyclopedia of more than 10,000 plants, providing information on genus, species (including common names, variants, and cultivars), cultivation requirements, propagation and pruning, plus special color spreads on major groups like camellias, dahlias, rhododendrons, and roses. From annuals and perennials to bulbs, corms, and tubers, and from vegetables and herbs to shrubs, trees, and ground covers: If it grows, it's here--beautifully described in easy-to-read text and eyepopping color photos. Practical reference information includes a detailed glossary, a table of plant families, and an index of synonyms and common names. 9" x 12".
