 | Product Description: Bold and dramatic, annuals have been experiencing a resurgence, and garden centers and catalogs offer them in bewildering variety, from traditional bedding plants to new, specialty introductions. In Armitage's Garden Annuals, author Allan M. Armitage selects proven specimens from nearly 200 genera of plants and evaluates their gardenworthiness and sheer beauty. With humor, authority, and a wealth of practical experience, Armitage offers invaluable insights into those plants that truly earn their keep --- and a few that do not! He has illustrated them with more than 1300 stunning color photos, making this the definitive photographic reference to annuals, biennials, and tender perennials. Horticulturists, students, and dedicated home gardeners will be familiar with Armitage's authority on this topic from his more technical Manual of Annuals, Biennials, and Half-Hardy Perennials. That volume was singled out as a winner of the Choice Academic Book Award, American Horticultural Society Book Award, and the Garden Writers of America Golden Globe Award. While this new offering is a perfect pictorial companion to the Manual, it also stands alone with its personal commentary and inspiring advice on the most interesting, important, or overlooked plants. Attractive and easy to use, Armitage's Garden Annuals follows the example of the author's celebrated Garden Perennials and dispenses with the formalities, delving right into the details gardeners most desire. The book is like a private tutorial with a master teacher. Sharpen your pencils and take notes when Dr. Armitage advises, "I expect tweedia to become a bestseller," asks "How many daisies do you know that climb up trellises?" or even concludes "The flowers are boring at best..." The encyclopedia is rounded out by more than two dozen helpful lists of plants suitable for particular situations or uses, including plants for cool-summer areas, plants for dry situations, edible plants, container plants, shade plants, vines, and flowers for cutting.

 | Product Description: Annuals are very much back in style after the decades-long perennial revolution. You see annuals in every garden, with the old-fashioned flowers still among the most popular. With new varieties being launched every year and older ones (many dating back more than four or five years) disappearing just as quickly, gardeners need help sorting them out. Author Larry Hodgson tells you what to look for among the numerous new introductions: greater adaptability to growing conditions, longer period of bloom, improved insect and disease resistance, and more--everything, in fact, that you need to know to make growing annuals both simple and fun. You'll discover:
How to cut back tired annuals, like sweet alyssum, to get them to rebloom even more intensely than before.
How to save money by taking cuttings of so-called "designer" annuals, using one plant to create many.
All about overwintering numerous "annuals" that are really tropical perennials.
Which cool-loving annuals you can sow in the fall so they can sprout when the conditions are perfect the following spring.
Simple tricks that make designing with annuals a snap.
And much, much more!
You'll find annual gardening has never been easier--or more exciting--than when you have Annuals for Every Purpose as a handy reference.

 | Product Description: Experienced gardeners often ask: Why plant annuals? They are common and garish and just don’t last.
This anticipated new work by eminent horticulturist Wayne Winterrowd—covering more than 250 genera and 600 species and containing over 250 color photographs—provides a great many answers to that question. Familiar garden plants such as marigolds, sunflowers, and zinnias are lovingly portrayed, as well as new species that the gardener may have only just discovered or never previously encountered. Each species is fully described by appearance, range of color, propagation, culture, climatic preferences, and garden value. In addition, Winterrowd supplies fascinating accounts of the botanical etymology, the origins of common names, and the rich historical lore that surround all plants, familiar and rare alike. Most important, his lifetime of hands-on, practical garden experience crisscrosses these pages, offering a trove of practical advice. The result is a volume that will encourage committed annuals growers in their passion and introduce a whole new world of possibilities to gardeners who have hardly guessed at the riches of these formerly undervalued plants.
A tremendously ambitious work that reflects almost ten years of careful research, observation, and experimentation, Annuals and Tender Plants for North American Gardens is a comprehensive, utterly engaging reference. Arranged alphabetically and with convenient, at-a-glance profiles prefacing each entry, this beautifully designed guide is both a good read and a visual delight.
