SynopsisThe plants are organized into 28 intuitively logical groups, such as succulent euphorbias, mesembryanthemums, bulbs, succulent trees, aloes, agaves, and haworthias. Each entry includes information on the plant's native habitat, its cultivation requirements, and its horticultural potential. As useful to novice growers as to collectors and those with an existing interest in succulents, this will be the standard reference for years to come.

  • Serious scholarly book on succulents

    This is a wonderful book if you're interested in plants "on the ground". Lots of color illus. , good bibliography, scholarly. I'm not really interested in the botany of succs., just using some succs. in the garden and containers, so I returned it to a Barnes & Noble store.
