Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is an introduction to the traditional methods for building perennial gardens, a type of garden that historically used long-lived, flowering plants to form a permanent base around which showy, seasonal flowers could be added. The author begins by explaining the process of preparing the soil and selecting a bed, then follows with a discussion of the best time for planting, spreading mulch, staking, and dividing plants. There are also discussions of the theoretical considerations that should be made when placing plants next to one another for optimal visual impact, such as bloom time, mature plant height, and foliage spread. The bulk of the book is dedicated to listing and describing over 50 different perennial plants that the author considers dependable and reliable for both beginning and experienced gardeners. These descriptions include not only information about preferred soil types and bloom times but also provide guidance on how to achieve the best aesthetic results when using each variety. The book concludes with a call to action for the reader to engage with the infinite joy that can be found in planting and cultivating a thriving perennial garden.
