Media Reviews
We are lucky to finally have this book which is [a] must for every daphne grower. It is the daphne reference book.
As straightforward and helpful in its text as it is alluringly attractive in its photography (from its jacket to its comprehensive photos within).
A great help in unlocking the cultural needs of this devilish genus. ... Robin White's writing is clear, informative, and of value to gardeners at any level. ... For those who have failed before in cultivating daphnes, this book will have them drooling to give daphnes another try.
