Riassunto:

Penstemons are in vogue at the moment, and with good reason: they flower in an amazing range of colors and most bloom for long periods without fussing. This volume covers penstemon botany, history, cultivation, propagation, pests and diseases, and companion plants, as well as surveying species and offering an encyclopedic listing of cultivars. Contains color photos. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

David Way trained as a horticulturalist at Cambridge University and the R.H.S. Garden at Wisley. As well as a career in teaching and research, he has for many years been a member of the executive committee of the Hardy Plant Society, and is the author of their booklet, Penstemons.
