Summary

"Native perennials aren't just for the wild garden. Like non-natives they can play a variety of roles - as specimens, in flower borders or mixed with shrubs or annuals. Native wildflowers offer a wealth of flower color, from the sizzling to the subdued, as well as interesting leaf textures and colors. What's more, they can help restore the fabric of plant and animal life and create a regional feeling in your yard." -- from back cover
