Description
|
|
|
|
Cooler-zone gardeners are discovering that with a little wintertime care, plants that have long been considered annuals—including geraniums, gladioli, dahlias, begonias, rosemary, lavender, and even impatiens—can instead be classified as "tender perennials." Not hardy enough to survive winter on their own, they can be moved indoors during the cold months, and then returned to the garden in spring, and many prove to be even more beautiful in their second and third years. Illustrated with color photos and drawings, this guide presents simple techniques for maintaining tender plants, followed by 165 detailed plant profiles with specific advice for overwintering and indoor care.
