Perennials are the types of plants that bloom every year, and because
they know what to expect in terms of color, blooms, and textures, many
gardeners use them to provide a basic structure to their gardens,
borders, and the overall landscape. Home Gardener's Perennials & Bulbs
provides essential information on designing gardens, improving the soil,
planting, fertilizing, and maintaining perennials and bulbs. The book
offers information on buying plants, starting plants from seed, and
transplanting. Hundreds of step-by-step color photographs illustrate
basic gardening techniques. This guide to creating beautiful gardens
with eye-catching perennials also offers tips for saving time and money,
along with useful advice on dealing with common garden pests and
diseases.
