Synopsis

The coastal Carolinas are blessed with a long growing season, warm ocean breezes, and abundant rainfall. But there are challenges, too -- extreme summer heat and acidic soil among them. In this first guide to tidewater Carolina gardening, complete with over 120 full-color photos, Henry Rehder, Jr. shows how to cultivate plants that not only survive under these conditions, but thrive and remain attractive year-round.
