Product Description Perennial Gardening in Texas presents its own unique challenges, especially with the state's wide variety of climate zones. This book focuses on individual plants―some 120 species―but also brings with it the expertise of a landscape architect in providing designs that will work both damp and water-scarce areas. Review Alan Franz has developed a rich and rewarding plant palette based on decades of growing plants in Texas. He entices readers to expand their vision of horticultural beauty to include the foliage of plants as well as the butterflies and bees a plant may attract. He takes the tone of an encouraging and well-grounded coach, providing hints and nudges at every turn. (Virginia Small, Senior Editor Fine Gardening) About the Author Alan Dean Franz is a prominent landscape architect in Dallas, whose articles on gardening and landscape design have appeared locally as well as nationally in Landscape Architecture magazine.
