It is unlikely that there is a powerhouse plant out there that Rice isn't familiar with. He's one of the plant geniuses who commands my full attention. Rice writes a blog called the Transatlantic Gardener, lives in the U.K. and the U.S. and is a prolific writer.
The pages from 27 to 370 are filled with plants, plants and nothing but plants. Each plant is named, categorized, features described, photographs provided, cold hardy zones, size at maturity, how to use them, varieties available, and tips for care.
Plants include: Trees, deciduous shrubs, perennial flowers, tender perennials, ferns, annual flowers, vines, evergreen shrubs, well, something from every category of plants! If Rice says these plants will be good choices, they no doubt will.
