I still stand behind my recommendation of the Better Homes & Gardens'
Garden Book. It's a great resource! I've had mine for several years now
and STILL refer to it. It has garden plans, suggestions for plant
combinations, several charts listing plants according to color, bloom time,
height, zone, etc., and gives a very good summary of each plant, listing
cultural info, a color picture of each plant, suggested combinations, and
other helpful hints (such as pruning, deadheading, staking, propagation,
etc.). It features gardeners from a variety of zones and different
gardening styles.
It cost me about $20 when I got it on sale (if I remember correctly). Paid
much more for other books with lots of pretty pictures, but with less
information. Since I live in Zone 6, the Sunset book doesn't help me much.
