Hatch's Perennials: Salvia and Sedum Version 3.1

This volume covers the cultivars of two major genera with detailed descriptions, original large digital images, history of cultivars, and sources links to new and rare material. There are 365 cultivars of Salvia and 266 of Sedum in this ground-breaking 95 page study of sage and stonecrop. More than 35 years ago, horticultural taxonomist Larry Hatch became frustrated with the lack of comprehensive information on the varieties of hardy herbaceous plants. He still is not satisfied and since that time has created annual updates to Hatch's Perennials to set the record straight. He took his work to several print publishers and not one wanted a perennial encyclopedia over 1200 pages due to the expense of being exhaustive, detailed, and including high-res, page-wide images for so many plants. The New Ornamentals Society and cultivar.org took him up on this challenge to create a much better perennial guide.
