This is Christopher Lloyd’s most important book since the publication 30 years ago of his landmark _The Well-Tempered Garden,_ representing the fruit of his lifetime’s study of perennial plants. Genus by genus, he sets down everything he has learned, thought, seen, tried, liked, or regretted about them, individually or in combination. Ever the scholar among professional gardeners, he is formidably knowledgeable, iconoclastic, sometimes dyspeptic or even rude, and always entertaining. In his own words, “For good or ill, here you have the voice of an individual rather than the omniscience of a faceless team of contributors . . . I love plants: at least that must be clear—perhaps even infectious.”
