Armitage's Garden Perennials

It has been seven years since horticulture icon Dr. Armitage’s popular book Armitage’s Garden Perennials went out of print. In that time, gardeners and professionals alike have been asking if it will be reprinted. It is with pride and delight that we announce the book has been revived and is now available for order, just in time for the garden season.

Published by Echo Point Books & Media, the newest edition of Armitage’s Garden Perennials is the must-have reference for both new and experienced gardeners, allowing readers to discover the beauty and joy perennial plants provide. During the pandemic, thousands of people discovered the pleasure of gardening, and the global gardening boom shows no signs of slowing down. Writing about hundreds of his favorite perennials, Armitage distills the perennial plant world down to his favorite and most useful perennials, in a friendly, often humorous way. However, it is the more 1,300 beautiful photos that that every gardener appreciates. He finds the joy in working in the dirt and states without hesitation, “This is gardening, not brain surgery—it is supposed to be fun.”
