Media reviews

"Enthusiastically recommended for both academic and public libraries and is an essential purchase for libraries where there is an interest in gardening."
– Booklist

"One thing about Essential Perennials is that it's essential – maybe even mandatory – for every designer to have a copy."
– Garden Design Online

"A beautifully illustrated 'spam filter' for perennial-growers."
– Library Journal

"A valuable reference book that deserves a spot on your garden bookshelf."
– Country Gardens

"Useful and well written. [...] Will point you in the right direction – toward a home garden that brings years of pleasure."
– Garden Rant

"A welcome addition to my bookshelf and it should be for yours too. Its wide-ranging and inclusive listing gives equal time to native woodlanders, ephemerals, exotic introductions, as well as time-honored favorites and takes the confusion out of the ever-growing world of perennials."
– Ottawa Citizen
