Synopsis
The Prince of Wales introduces this treatment of these popular perennials by members of the British Hosta and Hemerocallis Society. After tracing their natural history, cultivation, niche in garden design, and nemeses, the authors describe some 750 species organized by color (green/blue/variegated) with color illustrations showing their diversity.

The Color Encyclopedia of Hostas
An absolutely brilliant book and a must have for all gardeners even if you are not a Hosta enthusiast. The production is lavish with a comprehensive review and superb colour pictures of current Hosta cultivars with equally well written sections on the history and cultivation of this genus. If you were to buy one book on Hostas this should be the one!
One for the Hosta fanatic
I have been a fan of Hostas for years now and thought I had seen the best of the books about them. However this title is a pleasant surprise. A nice large size format, loads of sumptuous colour pictures. Last but not least all the cultural information you would need to grow each of the varieties shown.
