SynopsisGardeners in the Interior West and Great Plains face a daunting challenge: a harsh, semi-arid climate of scorching summers and brutally cold winters. These climatic extremes rule out many standard garden plants that thrive in areas with greater rainfall and more moderate temperatures. In this comprehensive volume, Robert Nold describes the best picks among perennials and annuals; grasses; bulbs; rock garden plants; cacti; yuccas and other similar plants; shrubs; and trees--more than a thousand plants in all. Leavened with humor and rueful wisdom, Nold's pithy descriptions zero in on each plant's outstanding ornamental characteristics while giving the reader an accurate idea of what to expect from the plant's performance in the garden. A must-have for readers in: Idaho, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico. This book is only available through print on demand. All interior art is black and white., A must-have for any gardener facing the daunting challenge of scorching summers and brutally cold winters. A black-and-white edition.

Just what I needed
To beautify my property in the mountains of northern New Mexico. I helped me find suitable plants for our high (7850ft) and dry, 12” a year, land scraping needs. My wife is excited to get me working on the areas around the house to hide the construction scars.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
