Heucheras and Heucherellas: Coral Bells and Foamy Bells
Heims and Ware offer horticultural data on coral bells and foamy bells and their hybrids as well as information about their history and ethnobotany, but their detailed and lavish book is chiefly devoted to a listing of hundreds of these lovely perennials. Each listing describes the flower's color, size, and the month it blooms. There are chapters on culture and care (growing them in gardens and containers, fertilizers, deadheading and maintenance, pest and diseases); propagation; and garden uses and combinations with other flowers. Heims received the Royal Horticultural Society's Reginald Cory Memorial Cup in 2002. Ware is a freelance writer and broadcaster. The book, with 155 color and 37 black and white photographs, and 154 line drawings, is an exceptional guide to these popular flowers.George CohenCopyright © American Library Association.
