Product Description
Shrubs are the backbone of the garden. Chosen wisely, they will do more for your landscape than any other kind of plant. Chosen carelessly, they can be expensive mistakes. In this handy new TAYLOR'S GUIDE, you'll find the most-sought-after cultivars, offering better flowers, unusual foliage, colorful berries, improved disease tolerance, or compact size and shape for small gardens. Here you can choose the perfect shrubs
- to give you privacy and screen out unattractive views
- to act as a beautiful focal point or enhance a mixed border
- to control erosion or create a ground cover that needs no mowing
- for difficult situations such as windy seashores, droughty shade, and wet areas
And for every plant in this authoritative book, you'll find detailed how-to-grow information.

Taylor's Guide to Shrubs
I purchased my first Taylor's Guide 20 years ago. I have since purchased most in the series after realizing I always always reach for Taylor's Guides first, before any of my other gardening books. We have homes in 3 different hardiness zones-3,6 and 9. Taylor's is comprehensive and accurate. My gardening failures have occured only when I couldn't resist
a shrub, tree, plant etc. and chose to ignore the Taylor's planting, maintenance or hardiness zone recommndations. As I type, we are replacing sun shrubs with "Taylor ecommended" shade shrubs beneath maturing trees in zone 9.
excellant shrub guide
This is one of my favorite reference books that I refer to quite often, and it is very enjoyable just to look through it and to reread it with reference to what you are intersted in.Lots of good pictures and many,many plants.Chances are, what you are looking for is in this book.
