A vintage introduction to growing perennial flowers

W. C. Egan’s compact gardening guide centers on the practical work of planting and propagating perennials. It frames these plants through their recurring growth cycle: returning from rootstock after the dormant autumn and winter seasons, in contrast with shorter-lived annuals and biennials. With its focus on perennial flowers rather than trees or shrubs, the book offers a concise period resource for gardeners building or maintaining beds designed to return year after year. Its vintage perspective is part of the book’s character, making it a focused addition to a horticultural shelf devoted to traditional gardening instruction.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Gardeners interested in planting and propagating perennial flowers
  • Readers building a collection of vintage horticultural guides
  • Anyone seeking a brief introduction to the distinction between perennials, annuals, and biennials

Book overview

This vintage book contains a fantastic guide to gardening, concentrating on planting and propagating perennials. A Perennial is a plant that lives for longer than two years and grows to boom over the spring and summer, dies every autumn and winter, and then returns in the spring from its rootstock. This term is usually often used to separate these types of plants from shorter-lived annuals and biennials, as well as to distinguish those that have little or no woody growth from trees and shrubs. This volume is highly recommended for those with a practical interest in growing these types of plants, and it would make for a worthy addition to collections of allied literature.
