Identification, Selection and Use of Southern Plants for Landscape Design is a comprehensive survey of the entire range of southern plants from the moist coastal islands of South Carolina to the hot dry hill of central Texas. This completely new and revised book has a fresh emphasis on the practical use of plants to solve landscape design problems. More than 1000 species of trees, shrubs, vines, perennials, wildflowers, ferns, water plants, groundcovers and grasses have been noted in this easy to follow book. The text gives just the right amount of information and special remarks to orient the interested layperson, the teacher, the professional nurseryman, grower, or landscape architect. The authors have drawn on over thirty years of professional experience, both in professional practice and teaching from the southern tip of Michigan and Illinois to Mexico and Florida to produce this excellent reference for those wanting to know more about plants in the southern regions of the United States. 684 pages
