Summary: Very informative.
Review: A good reference book for the daylily fancier. The author gives a comprehensive description of the more well known cultivars, and includes both good and bad points. More photographs would have given it five stars.

Summary: Authoritative, easily understood introduction to daylilies
Review: Diana Grenfell's guide to growing daylilies covers daylilies from 551-479 BC to the present. She clearly presents a broad view of this beloved perennial, with excellent insight. From cultivating to breeding, terminology to forms, colors and cultivar recommendations, this book is as good as there is on the subject of daylilies.

Summary: Lacks Much Depth: An Introductory Review
Review: I've read Munson's and Hill's books on daylilies and they are better for cultivating daylilies or provide a more in depth study. Grenfell's book is informative but not sufficiently detailed if the reader wants to cross cultivate or try to developing a cultivar. Better information is available on the internet websites.

A strongly recommended addition to personal and community library gardening and horticultural reference collections and supplemental reading lists, The Gardener's Guide To Growing Daylilies is as gorgeous to page through as it is useful to refer from.
