Difficult to recommend for the North American & European grower...
Written by an accomplished botanist, comprehensive guide focuses on cultivation, propagation, pests & diseases of the many cultivars of the genus lavendula in Australia & New Zealand, or below Capricorn. Concludes with few pages on lavender in UK & USA. Unless you have profound need to read a botanical & scientific examination of lavendula your cash is better spent on the many other available titles about lavender.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
