Growing & Propagating WildFlowers

Good book for a person interested in this topic. Not many other other books available for the lay person interested in avoiding growing plants that are not native to the area, and are also environmentally friendly.

Utilizing wildflowers in the home garden

I feel this book is an excellent resource for an persons desiring to learn about wildflower biology and, also those wishing to incorporate wildflowers into the perennial garden. While directed toward plants of the eastern, southern, and midwestern regions, most anyone would find this book useful.
