Présentation de l'éditeur

The Gardener's Guide to Growing Penstemons is a wide-ranging study of a diverse genus. It provides an up-to-date and authoritative overview of a rather complicated classification, a useful chapter on botany which provides helpful tips for identification and a detailed history of the plant including a special chapter on the history and development of the cultivars. Gardeners will derive much of interest from the chapters on garden cultivation, propagation, plant association and pests and diseases while chapters on breeding and the role of the plant in Australasia, South Africa and continental Europe further broaden the scope of this comprehensive book. Specialists and gardeners alike will profit from the detailed plant descriptions, which include full information about garden cultivation, of a comprehensive range of cultivars and species.
