Even though the range maps in this new book are for just Arizona and New Mexico, anyone in the same hardiness zones with low precipitation will be able to use this book to see beautiful landscaping plans, photos of native plants including cacti, trees, shrubs, wildflowers and groundcover. The species accoutns include information on native distribution, landscape zones, size of plant, description of leaves, when it flowers, the type of soil required, exposure, temperature tolerance, water needs, how to propagate it, and a profile. The lists in the Appendices make it easy to plan your landscape. Most of the entries include a close up of the flower and a picture of the entire plant, which is missing in many other titles.
Paperback, 8 1/2 x 11 inches, 192 pages, full color photos, 2007.
