Encyclopedia of Shade Perennials

[aaron floden]

Hello,
I ordered for my work and have had some time to
review it a little. A nice amount of space given to
Arisaema and several other genera, and lots of info on
some odds and ends. He mentions that he grows A.
taiwanense in a pot, for he fears for its hardiness.
Plant it in the ground! I have had mine at the very
edge of a raised bed for 3 years and it has taken -15,
and it seems to not be so sensitive to the winter wet.

He discusses several that i wish i even had.
A nice photo of a yellow leaved Smilacina racemosa,
and he mentions a giant/large form of Shortia
galacifolia. I want them both.
A very nice book.
Aaron
