The heart of the book is a lengthy section on pruning perennials—deadheading, pinching, disbudding, thinning, deadleafing and cutting back are covered—with an emphasis on pruning mid-season to prolong, stagger and encourage repeat bloom, as well as to enhance the shape, size and health of perennials. 384 pgs, 274 color photos, 19 line drawings.
