About This Item
Portland, Oregon : Timber Press, 2000. Sixth Printing. Hardcover (Original Cloth). Good Condition/Good. Karen Bell. Binding is tight, but spine is slightly cocked Text body is clean and free from previous owner annotation, underlining and highlighting There is some faint foxing on front free endpapers and heavier foxing on back free endpaper, text appears to be free of foxing Edges all neat and clean Boards have some slight edge wear These exotic natives of the Americas are among the most striking of drought-tolerant plants, and they make wonderful accents in the landscape, providing excellent contrasts to flowering perennial plantings. They can also be massed effectively, and many of the species are small, ideal for use in containers.
The authors point out that innovative nurseries and gardeners in cool, humid regions have shown that many of these plants may be suitable for areas with climates very different from their native range. Full information on cultivation and propagation is provided. B & W illustrations and colour photos
