Produktbeschreibungen
From Booklist
More than 400 species and varieties are described in this detailed guide to sedums, also known as stonecrops. Stephenson begins with a chapter on the uses of sedums and follows with a chapter on growing them, offering data on temperature of water, composts, propagation, and pests. The bulk of the book--more than 200 pages--describes the 400 species alphabetically. Each listing includes general description, habitat, main points of distinction, variation, and horticulture (which identifies various uses of the species, such as potted houseplants and in rock gardens, herbaceous borders, hanging baskets, window boxes, or outdoor containers). The text is supplemented by 110 color photographs and 100 black-and-white photos. George Cohen
Pressestimmen
"For any gardener who wants to learn more about this attractive and versatile group of plants, this is simply the finest book available. Attractively presented, interestingly written, and containing just about everything known today about sedums for the garden, Ray Stephenson's new work can be highly recommended."
--David Heller, Rock Garden Quarterly, Winter 1995

Einleitungssatz
The genus Sedum is much neglected by general gardening books but always popular with gardeners who realize plants do not have to be ostentatious, expensive, or difficult to grow to be charming. Lesen Sie die erste Seite

A thorough and up-to-date reference of species and
cultivars of the genus Sedum. The focus of the book
is botanical, but there is sufficient horticultural
information included to make it very useful for
gardeners as well as collectors. All species are
described with notes on distinguishing features,
variation, and horticultural availability and use.
Many excellent color photos and informative line
drawings. This is the standard reference for anyone
with a serious interest in sedums.

An excellent resource for the enthusiast
21. Februar 2004
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This was the first reference book in many years to provide an in-depth guide to identifying the many species of sedums. The author provides details regarding 400-plus different kinds of sedums, with photos and identifying characteristics, native habitat, horticulture, etc. The book provides some general information on growing sedums (temperature, water, light, pests, propogation), but the bulk of the book is devoted to a discussion of individual types. With its in-depth, scientific treatment of the subject, it is not necessarily a book for a beginning rock gardener, but anyone past the initial stages of growing sedums would find it useful, and it is a must-have for a nursery owner.

Dearth of color photos
23. März 2006
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I bought this book as a gift for a gardening enthusiast and was very disappointed in it. Compared to other garden treatises of similar size, price, and level of specificity, there were simply far too few color photos in this book. There are some color photos, but the vast majority of the book is in black and white. The scientific descriptions and technical specificity are great, though. Overall, the book is very overpriced for what you get.
