Each "plant portrait" provides the scientific and common names of the plant; details of it's flower, foliage, care, uses and propagation; plants to combine it withl and problems, insider's tips, and a good color photograph or the perennial.
Allan Armitage - Pam has written a terrific book that is concise and to the point. Not only has she simplified bloom times for gardeners, but her excellent plant descriptioons also help us understand how the plants will perform.
Chicago Tribune - A most helpful book…an instant problem solver for the gardener passing through a drab period. Duthie's book is a gardener's dream.
