Hatch's Perennials: Acanthus to Aurinia Version 3.1

Acanthus to Aurinia. This 272 page volume for genera starting with A is larger than many perennial books for all genera. More than 177 Achillea, 192 Agapanthus, 637 Agave names, 109 Ajuga, 274 Aquilegia, and 191 Astilbe cultivars are covered in much detail. Written by horticultural taxonomist Larry Hatch over more than 35 years, Hatch's Perennials was designed to be the ultimate guide to hardy herbaceous cultivars not found in other established manuals and references. Descriptions are cultivar specific (not general for a species), images large and digital, and the history and origins of many cultivars are covered.
