About this title

Synopsis

Grow irises in any garden, in almost any condition. Beautiful irises provide focal points in the mixed border, by or in water, among shrubs, in the rock garden, or in beds by themselves. Here, the different types are described in detail, with advice on where and how to cultivate them. Find out about propagation, hybridizing, and controlling pests and diseases. Selections of recommended cultivars, line drawings, photos, and horticultural information make this the ideal introduction.
