The Plantfinder's Guide to Daisies

"In this wide-ranging guide, plantsman John Sutton focuses on members of the daisy family (Compositae), taking a close look at many favourite garden plants. Most, like Rudbeckia, Helianthus and Osteospermum, have the characteristic daisy-like appearance that makes them so valuable in borders, beds and containers. Others have very different flowerheads and inflorescences, like the charming cornflowers, the striking Ligularia and the characterful globe thistle." "The Plantfinder's Guide to Daisies is a beautiful photographic record and comprehensive reference work for one of the most widely cultivated of all groups of garden plants. It will inspire all gardeners to sample the irresistible delights of the versatile daisy in its many guises."--BOOK JACKET.
