Excellent book on the title subject. Very well written. I originally checked book out from library and bought my own copy I used so much in putting in flower beds. If you are considering this type of planting and are in vicinity of Kaysville Utah, you should visit the Utah House where most of plants are displayed for public. It is my understanding the author did the layout of plantings here.
