Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

This text is a complete guide for gardeners to the North American pitcher plants - some of the most spectacular looking of all carnivorous plants. The book covers the plants' natural history; describes the 13 species and subspecies of Sarracenia; advises on soil requirements and how to construct a "bog garden"; and considers such issues as propagation from seed and by division, hand pollination, hybridization and commercial cultivation as well as floristry with cut pitchers. The guide is designed to appeal to gardeners, collectors, and commercial growers.
