"Written with the practical grower in mind, the book is a reference guide to a representative cross-section of the genus Allium. This account of approximately 200 species contains botanical descriptions, cultivation guides, attributions and geographical distributions with associated hardiness zones. To aid gardeners interested in the identification of plants, the description of each species is followed by bibliographical information and a reference to published illustrations where possible. Many synonyms are included." "The wide colour range and the many attractive flowers suitable for growing in modern gardens, whether in the border or under alpine conditions, will be a revelation to many. The book gives practical and historical information on the decorative impact of alliums in the garden, alliums for special sites, their place in myth and folk medicine as well as culinary uses. Many alliums have been selected over centuries to form important food crops." "Allium literature, both botanical and cultural, is spread over numerous Floras not easily available to the average gardener. The last monograph, by Regel, was published in 1875. Dilys Davies's work will be welcomed by committed gardeners and plantsmen as a much-needed and profusely illustrated source of practical and botanical information."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
