Hardy perennials are a favourite among flower gardeners as they can be relied upon to look beautiful year after year. The Fresh flowering stems first appear in spring and die in the autumn, while the rootstocks continue to live on and increase in size and vigour as the seasons pass. First published in 1921, "Hardy Border Flowers" gives a complete guide to growing hardy flowers as border plants, including directions on such topics as ground preparation, planting, grouping and arranging, association of colour, and much more. Contents include: "The Mixed Flower Border", "Planting Hardy Flowers", "Arranging and Grouping", "Hints on Cultivation and Manuring", "Staking and Tying", "Grey Leaved Plants", "Bulbs in the Flower Border", "Biennials for the Border", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the history of gardening.
