O knihe

This book, the most complete and expert treatment of wild flower propagation and cultivation to date, offers a sure approach to gardening with native plants while practicing good conservation. Based on ten years of pioneering research at the North Carolina Botanical Garden, "Growing and Propagating Wild Flowers" features
practical, easy-to-follow methods for raising native plants from seeds, cuttings, and divisions
specific instructions on the propagation and cultivation of plants representing nearly 100 genera of wild flowers, carnivorous plants, and ferns
more than 250 illustrations, including 32 color photographs and 3 sample design plans for a perennial border
For each species treated, the author includes
descriptions of growth habits, flowers, fruits and seeds
outstanding ornamental characteristics, flowering and fruiting times
detailed directions on the collection, cleaning, storage, and germination of seed
information on cultivation and use in the home landscape
notes on related species and their propagation
The native plants cited as examples are found primarily in the eastern United States. The propagation and handling techniques, however, will be useful throughout the temperate areas of the country.
