草本植物で、株が枯死せず、長年生育を続けるものを‘宿根草’または‘多年草’(Perennial)と呼んでいます。
球根も宿根草の特殊な形態ですが、園芸界では別に取り扱うのが普通になっています。
また、寒さに弱く、日本の冬は温室内でないと越せない種類も、温室植物として区別されます。
宿根草は種類が多く、形態的・生態的特性が多種多様、まさに多様性(Diversity)の世界で、それを扱う本となると、どうしてもカタログ的、図鑑的な内容になります。
類書は多数ありますが、当館収蔵の中から、水準が高く有用なものを選んでみました。
A | 宿根草:種類と楽しみ方 |
B | 原色園芸植物図鑑:宿根草編 |
C | 切り花栽培の新技術・宿根草 |
D | Perennial Garden Plants or The Modern Florilegium |
E | The Pan Garden Plants Series : Perennials |
F | Hardy Herbaceous Perennials |
G | Perennials and their Garden Habitats |
今回の選書では、宿根草(Perennial)という単語がタイトル中にある本を選んでいます。
当然のことながら世の中には他にも、宿根草の特性や栽培を対象にした数多くの植物学あるいは園芸の本が存在します。
本館収蔵の分については、‘栽培’の棚、あるいは‘植物’の棚をご覧ください。
本館では本書のドイツ語版(第5版)も収蔵していて、‘ちょっと見☆海外園芸書’のコーナーで紹介しています。 →こちらです。
ドイツでは自然に添ったガーデニングが主流になっていると聞きます。本書が5版まで重ねるのもその流れでしょうか。
