Right Plant, Right Place

By Nicola Ferguson

Here is the updated version of what has become the definitive guide to plants and shrubs for bot the professional and backyard gardener. This is not an introduction to gardening by any stretch of the imagination, but it's the best reference book around on plants. This new revised edition includes plants that have become popular since the original publication 20 years ago. Its also updated because the changing climate now allows for plants that require warmer conditions to be grown in more areas of the world.

The author takes a methodical approach to listing the plants that are available to the gardener. The author first lists plants by the type of climate and soil the plants require to thrive first separates the lists. Then other lists are for plats by purpose, type of foliage, plants with fruit, flowers, etc. Each plant will appear on multiple lists. Basically the same information is presented in multiple ways, so all you have to do if flip to the appropriate section and pick out your plant.
