Carefully organized for easy reference and practical use, the book presents each entry in full color, giving specific information for height, color, location and soil requirements, together with helpful hints for propagating, displaying, transplanting and more. Every flower -- from the Sweet Alyssum to the Giant Zinnia in the annuals group, from the fragrant Daphne to the exotic Monkshood in the perennials group -- is treated with the same explicit detail and informative illustrations that have made the earlier Woman's Day plant books the most popular and useful gudies for the novice and expert gardener alike. Whether used as a guide for growing your favorite blooms in a small patch of earth, for creating a beautiful garden to enhance more extensive grounds, or for making a "cutting garden" for fresh or dried flowers for your home, this book will become an essential part of any gardener's library.
