“The completely new and totally revised Fourth Edition of Southern Plants expands in every area of the South, and with almost every new and old plant, there is new information. This final edition covers all the plants that could be practically included with an emphasis on the decades of experience of our two authors. Neil Odenwald, recent recipient of the coveted Gold Medal of Honor from the Garden Club of America, and James Turner, renown landscape architect and artist, bring volumes of new and expanded information to their readers. Claitor’s Publishing is proud to provide this vast collection of horticultural information and beautiful illustrations covering Neil and James’ work in a unique field of knowledge.”

“Southern Plants concludes almost forty years of work studying, classifying, and treating each plant and presenting the best available information for its readers. Here, Neil Odenwald and James Turner once again improve on the vast range of plants that are so important to the Southern landscape. This latest edition keeps with a traditional emphasis on the practical use of plants to solve and prevent landscape design problems. Over 1,000 plants are noted in classes from trees to shrubs, vines to perennials, wildflowers to grasses, rushes to water plants, and ground covers to bulbs. There are many special sections on such things as gingers, palms, bamboos, and ferns. Each plant is noted with an eye to understanding and using them in the home garden, botanical collection, streetscape, or rural landscape at large. The text and illustrations draw on the authors’ decades of experience as landscape architects and plant consultants.”
Neil Odenwald
 
“Everyday new things are discovered. New plants are introduced. Old ones fall from favor. Some plants simply get overlooked and join those left behind. As a plant enthusiast, you may find some special plant missing or some piece of the data short of the mark. We do feel, however, that you will find most of what you need and many new and useful surprises. At this time no more applicable general reference can be found.”
James Turner
