Back in print after fifty years Old Herbaceous is a classic British novel of the garden, with a title character as outsized and unforgettable as P.

Wodehouse's immortal butler, Jeeves.

Born at the dusk of the Victorian era, Bert Pinnegar, an awkward orphan child with one leg a tad longer than the other, rises from inauspicious schoolboy days spent picking wildflowers and dodging angry farmers to become the legendary head gardener Old Herbaceous, the most esteemed flower.
