[.uk] Growing Perennials in Cold Climates (ISBN 0809229439)

Best book for perennials in the Midwest:
I've bought and borrowed numerous books regarding perennials. None has been so complete and well illustrated. Each plant species has varieties listed as well as planting, mulching, pruning, dividing techniques and advice. As an avid perennial gardener, I can't recommend this book highly enough. Kudos to the authors!

Gardening in areas that reach 20 degrees below 0:
This book lets you know which perennials you can buy and grow in cold climates. It is a must for anyone in the Northern Areas of 20 degree's below 0 even in Canada. It shows the pictures of the flowers and where they will grow best for cold weather. It also shows you the best variety to buy and where you can order them, plant them and how to do it. It is a must for cold weather climates.

Excellent within its scope:
This is an excellent book for gardeners in USDA Zones 3b through 5b east of the 100th meridian. While one can certainly quarrel with which genera are covered, within its scope this book offers very solid advice. No similar reference offers as much breadth regarding specific cultivars. I hope the publisher will offer an expanded (including Thalictrums and Polygonatums!) and updated second edition in the near future. If you are a beginning to intermediate gardener this book is definitely worth having.

Delightful reading and gobs of information.:
A passionately written book. The information is detailed yet to the point and not boring or too scientific. A great book for the cold climate novice gardener or a reference for the master. The pictures are beautiful and plenty. The layout is clear, logical and well organized. The book's a real keeper. Great job.

Gardening in Cold Climates:
For those living in zone 4 or 3 - this is a fantastic all inclusive gardening book for anyone. Would highly recommend it.
