Description:

Hot on the heels of the best-sellingPerennials for Every Purpose, this new book has the same goal in mind-- to make growing annuals easier by presenting them in the way you use them in the garden. Whether you have a shady site or a cool climate or you want terrific annuals for beds or containers, you'll find more than 400 plants listed by their special feature rather than in plain alphabetical order. That's the "purpose" in the book's title, and it makes your job of choosing annuals effortless!
