Features: Perennial flowers, as the name suggests, are plants whose underground parts can survive in the soil through winter, and the aboveground parts can sprout, grow, bloom, and set seeds in the following spring. The advantages of these flowers are their simplicity in propagation and maintenance, as well as the ability to bloom for multiple years with a single planting, making them highly suitable for urban greening and beautification. Over the years, botanical gardens, landscape research institutes, and other organizations have actively engaged in the introduction, domestication, breeding, and promotion of perennial flowers, ensuring that urban green spaces are adorned with vibrant flowers in three seasons, creating picturesque cityscapes. This book introduces 50 families and over 900 species and cultivars of highly ornamental perennial flowers, accompanied by exquisite color illustrations and diagrams for easy identification. Each entry provides information on its morphological characteristics, origin and habits, propagation and cultivation, as well as landscape applications. An index of Chinese names and Latin names is included at the end for convenient reference.
