It's the perfect book to give someone if you are trying to stimulate interest in perrenial gardening." --<i><b>The Washington Post</b></i> <p/> "Nold's enthusiasm for penstemons is so strong that the reader will be tempted to try these plants in the rock garden, perennial border, native plant area or in containers." --<i><b>National Gardener</b></i> <p/> "Nold's dual perspectives, botany and horticulture, have merged into a beautifully written book about a genus he clearly loves, <i>Penstemon</i>." --<i><b>American Gardener</b></i> <p/> "Usefully illustrated with wonderful botanical watercolours and with photographs which show the plants in their natural (and often unlikely) conditions." --<i><b>Gardens Illustrated</b></i> <p/> "The book will be of great value to any student of the genus, botanical or horticultural, and essential for any botanical or horticultural library." --<i><b>Choice</b></i> <p/> "The style is humorous and readable. . . . beautiful watercolors as well as many pages of color photographs. . . . this is a great book to take road-botanizing at penstemon bloom time." --<i><b>Rock Garden Quarterly</b></i> <p/> "If you are a frustrated, wanna-be penstemon gardener, be sure to read this book." --<i><b>WaterWise</b></i> <p/> "The author's enthusiasm for penstemons is so persuasive that the reader will surely be tempted to experiment with a broader range of these versatile plants in the perennial border or in the rock garden." --<i><b>Biology Digest</b></i> <p/> "You will find plenty of good, accessible information here, with a glossary to explain some of those scary technical words.
