Synopsis:
Penstemons are in vogue at the moment, and with good reason: they flower in an amazing range of colors and most bloom for long periods without fussing. This volume covers penstemon botany, history, cultivation, propagation, pests and diseases, and companion plants, as well as surveying species and offering an encyclopedic listing of cultivars. Contains color photos. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
Reviews: Seventy gorgeous photographs and five charming botanical paintings in color illustrate this recent volume in Timber Press' Gardener's Guide series. The book includes data on the botany and history of the genus, and further chapters cover cultivation, propagation, pests, and diseases. A chapter on the ornamental uses of penstemons is followed by a survey of the species and an encyclopedic listing of cultivars. This very helpful guide offers practical advice to both novice and experienced gardeners. George Cohen
