We all need reference books on perennials and we now have a new volume which brings us up to date with the name changes, especially North American asters to symphyotrichum and the split of the dicentras to lamprocapnos, It is also nice to see aconogonon in its own section and not lumped with persicaria. American perennials are well represented as essential perennials. A few of our favourites here in New Zealand are missing like Symphyotrichum 'Little Carlow', Anthemis 'Sauce Hollandaise', Helenium 'Waltraut', Crocosmia 'Star of the East', Farfugium japonicum 'Giganteum', Aconitum x cammarum 'Grandiflorum Album'. No mention of stemmacantha.I still find the best perennial reference book to be the RHS Perennials book edited by Graham Rice 2006.The large number of photos helps one to identify the plants referred to in this new book. The authors give their thoughts on the plants which I find extremely helpful. Nice to delve into.
