| I live in Charleston, SC (region 8) and I'm looking for a some sort of plant "bible" specific for my area if it even exist. I would like it to include a list of native plants to the area as well as imports that would look good and survive and thrive.
Any suggestions? |

| Hi Mr. David- I am just a few miles south of you. The Southern Living books were my bible for many a year Steve Bender's "Passalong Plants" The Plant Delights catalog (http://www.plantdelights.com/) Antique Rose Emporium (https://www.antiqueroseemporium.com/)- I have had great luck with noisettes I find that as many plants with historical/garden worthy value growing in Charleston- the local nurseries don't sell the plants that work! Check out gingers too! Laurie |

| The 'Bible' if you have the cash is Odenwald's 'Identification, Selection and use of Southern Plants'. My guru is Felder Rushing. He co-wrote 'Passalong Plants'. All of his books are gold standard. Mike |
