The
Gardener's Guide to Growing Hostas
This
volume makes what once seemed to be bourgeois little clumps of
greenery suddenly look charming and handsome. (Maybe seeing a
photo of them alongside a stream in their native habitat helped.)
Grenfell provides expert advice on cultivation, propagation, and
garden uses of the hosta as well as an A-Z plant directory listing
some 400 cultivars and forms. Includes a brief history and botany
of the plant, information about hosta collections around the
world, and information about exhibiting and showing hostas, with
superbly detailed color photos.
