An analysis of each plant combination explains how it works and why it is effective, and what you need to do to keep the plants flourishing. Suggestions for many alternative plant pairings allow you to create thousands of the most imaginative and visually effective planting combinations available. Plants are grouped into shrubs and small trees, climbers, roses, perennials, bulbs and annuals. This book is THE reference book for those who wish to combine plants seasonally by colour, shape, texture and form in every corner of their garden.
