Color Encyclopedia of Hostas

Gardening & Environment Education & Reference Science & Nature

The Color Encyclopedia of Hostas by Diana Grenfell and Michael Shadrack is the definitive hardcover reference for shade-garden enthusiasts who covet these lush foliage plants. Published in 2004 by Timber Press, this hefty 408-page volume pairs authoritative text with hundreds of crisp color photographs that make identification and selection effortless.

Every page of this gardening guide remains clean and inviting, and the illustrated dust jacket arrives from a smoke-free home in very good condition. At 11.2" x 8.8", the book lies comfortably on a potting bench or coffee table, ready to inspire planting schemes for shady borders, containers, or woodland paths.

Hosta lovers, landscapers, and botanical educators alike will return to this encyclopedia again and again for cultivation tips, pest advice, and at-a-glance comparisons of size, color, and seasonal interest.
