Summer Annuals by Roger Phillips & Martyn Rix (1998)

This is a great little book. I like the pictures, which show real plants in real gardens rather than the artificial 'front-of-a-seed-packet' look seen in many of the less expensive books, and I like the way a little background information is used to shed light on the way to grow individual plants.

The major plants like petunias, sweet peas, begonias and impatiens are dealt with individually while natural groups lkike Texas summer annuals and everlasting flowers are grouped together. Along with recommended varieties each plant has it Planting Help section with seed raising and growing advice.

This photographer/writer team has been responsoible for some of the most useful larger reference books on a wide range of plants, the Random House Guides (USA)/Garden Plant Series (UK). The Plant Chooser series combines the same wonderful pictures and authoritative text in a small format. Great value.
