Hi Mimi,

   I've put together a list of references that I've found to be
   indispensable when dealing with perennials at

      http://www.mallorn.com/bookstore/lists/perennials.cgi

   For someone in your situation, Steven Still's book is a good
   starting point, as are the Random House books by Roger Phillips
   and Martyn Rix.  Wyman's Gardening Encyclopedia is also pretty
   darn good.  If I had to get just one based on content, I'd
   probably get Wyman -- it's indispensable and won't become
   outdated as your experience grows.

   Anyhow, there's a brief description available if you click
   on any of the titles on that page.  And of course, if you 
   order any through Amazon.com you'll be helping to pay for the
   mailing list...  :) 

Chris
