Armitage's Native Plants for American Gardens
(more in-depth review)
Allan Armitage. 2006. Timber Press. hardcover, 451
pp.
This instructor, research, and popular author and lecturer as added
to his excellent references on annuals and perennials with this one on
native herbaceous plants. It is mainly an A-Z listing of 160 genera,
covering 630 species and cultivars of native annuals, biennials, and perennials.
Written for the whole country, plants are grouped from A-Z by genera and
not grouped by region as in many such references. Also unlike other
such references, cultivars are included as well as species, for over 630
total. For each genus you'll find a short description, key cultivars,
habitat (soils and geographic range), hardiness, garden site (sun, soil
type), and garden maintenance. In addition, at the end are several useful
lists for various uses, and for resources and sources. In addition for
some genera, propagation details are given as well as some interesting
origins of the plant and its name (etymology).
Some Online Sources
The following are provided for information purposes only, and are not
meant to discriminate against those not mentioned. Dedicated purveyors
of a wide selection of garden books are listed, not individual publishers
unless garden oriented. Please advise of any omissions or corrections.
Of
course always also check your local bookstores and garden centers as well.
