Review

Valuable. -- Verlyn Klinkenborg "New York Times" (06/06/2004)

First-rate ... definitive and irresistible tribute to one of America's favorite shrubs.

The book is full of great photographs and discusses propagation, hydrangeas as potted plants, drying the flowers, and lists a full description of the cultivars and species. -- Linda Cobb "Spartanburg Herald-Journal" (03/15/2005)

The photographs in superb color of species and cultivars are well-taken, and make it easier to understand the difference, often subtle, of the multitude of cultivars available. -- John E. Bryan "Gardening Newsletter" (03/09/2005)
