In Cool Plants for Hot Gardens: 200 Water-Smart Choices for the Southwest, the award-winning horticulturist, nursery owner, and master gardener Greg Starr provides an indispensable reference for arid climates. He offers extensive information on 200 low-water-use plants, including clear descriptions of each plant and its ornamental features, maintenance, and climate requirements, along with landscape applications, precautions, and tips for plant identification. He completes each entry with a handy “At a Glance Summary.” This is an essential tool for gardeners, professional and amateur landscapers, and anyone interested in conserving precious desert water without sacrificing attractive, healthy plants.
