Hardy Perennials and Old Fashioned Flowers — Describing the Most Desirable Plants, for Borders, Rockeries, and Shrubberies is a horticulture and gardening book by John Wood, published in 1884 in London by L. Upcott Gill.[1] The book consists of descriptions of common British flowers, organized alphabetically by their scientific name. The first volume was released in April 1883.[2] The book was put online by the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation in 2006.[1]

A review in Nature was lukewarm, expressing reservations about the bulk, cost, and spelling mistakes of the work.[2] The Athenaeum was more positive, excusing mistakes because "the book has no pretensions to be a scientific treatise."[3] The Saturday Review also praised it as a detailed and practical gardening book.[4]
