William Cullina

Houghton Mifflin, 2009

A visually beautiful guide to working with perrenials and helping them flourish, by one of today's best gardening writers. Perennials are the basis of virtually every garden.

Great resource
When it comes to native vegetation, Cullina,s books are the bible for me. This is no exception. He's taken on ferns, grasses and mosses all of which are hard to differentiate and different in the way they propogate. He,s done a masterful job in helping me identify them, know where to plant them and how to propogate them.
