Description
With their heady perfume and stunning visual appeal, lavenders are a wonderful addition to any garden. This is the first comprehensive study which enables raeders to descipher the intricacies of lavender identification. Over 200 lavender species and cultivars are described in detail, specifically in Australia, Farnce, Japan, New Zealand, the UK and the USA. Chapters on cultivation, propagation, pests and deiseases, classification, botanical history and brief descriptions of uses should encourage gardeners to experiment. Combined with original photos and line drawings, this book will not only act as an important ais to lavender enthusiasts but also inspire by revealing the wealth of lavender cultivars that are so adaptable, hardy and dependable.
Reviews"For lavender enthusiasts, this book serves as an authoritative botanical reference ... a handsome, worthwhile, well-researched book." --Lynn Hunt, Fine Gardening, July/August 2001
