This
is the revised and expanded version of the book that has long
been the standard landscape plant manual for Florida. The authors
have included 70 additional native plant species along with updated
botanical names and additional general information on many of
the plants. They have also removed all invasive exotic species
from the book.
Each
description contains a detailed drawing for easily identifying
the plant, and both the common name and the botanical name are
given. Following the general description are entries on propagation,
soil and light requirements, culture, hardiness, salt tolerance,
pests, and landscape uses. Descriptions of foliage, fruit, and
flowers are enhanced by useful information about the season of
maximum color.
'One
of Florida's best garden manuals. . . . All residents of Florida
will find much useful information to help them with their garden
problems in this book.'--John Popenoe, former director, Fairchild
Tropical Gardens
