Plant Lovers Salvias - Hc by John Whittlesey
Salvias seduce gardeners with showy flowers and fragrant foliage, and are veritable magnets for throngs of bees, birds, and butterflies. While best known for their brilliant blue and deep purple hues, salvias have an incredible color range that spans from white and yellow to almost black. Many are wonderfully long blooming, drought-tolerant, deer-resistant, and easy to cultivate in most climates. In this inspiring guide, expert nurseryman John Whittlesey reveals his tips and tricks for using these timeless plants in the garden. The Plant Lover's Guide books offer a rich source of information on both new and classic garden plants. Written by enthusiastic experts, they recommend the best varieties for different situations, inspire ideas for new plant combinations, and are packed with resources for the home gardener. These gorgeous guides celebrate the beauty of each plant and form a comprehensive library that every plant lover will want to own.John Whittlesey, the owner of Canyon Creek Nursery and Design in northern California, is a nurseryman, garden designer, landscape contractor, and amateur photographer. He appreciates unusual plants and developing attractive, water-conserving gardens that provide habitat for people and wildlife as a specialized grower and designer. Because of his early interest in salvias, the Canyon Creek Nursery catalog featured one of the earliest comprehensive offerings in the country, and he still uses them liberally in his gardens. John is a California School of Garden Design graduate. In the Spring 2011 issue of Pacific Horticulture, he was profiled in a retrospective of his career.
