There is plenty of information about the conditions each plant needs to succeed., With the addition of more than 50 new species and nearly 100 new photographs and illustrations, this book surpasses Clebsch's first on salvias., As soon as the first edition was released, it became the classic salvia reference book. The new edition is even better, with more photographs, beautiful illustrations, and the inclusion of 50 more plants., Betsy (Clebsch) has continued her research and documentation of this endlessly fascinating group of plants. The result is The New Book of Salvias -- and a superior book it is . . . but it is her engrossing story of each salvia that will inspire the reader to add just a few more to the garden., An expanded edition of Betsy's first wonderful book on salvias, describing more than 50 new species and cultivars and how to use them in your garden., Betsy Clebsch displays once again her experience with and extensive knowledge of this useful and diverse genus., "[Salvias are] in abundance at many garden centers now; however, I discovered from this book that there are medicinal, cold-tolerant, shade-tolerant and water-wise salvias, too." Lexington Herald-Leader, It's impossible to do justice to these impressive plants in a short article. If you're really into salvias, read The New Book of Salvias by Betsy Clebsch., From using native plants in new ways to locating nurseries and designing a native garden, this is packed with fine material., Her ideas on plant companions and instructions on propagation should prove very valuable to salvia lovers., Gives fine descriptions of all plants in the genus that you could wish. . . .
