Within each chapter the extensive A to Zs of plant descriptions are complemented by more than 2,200 beautiful, full-color photographs. Each entry gives complete information on the origins of the plant, its habit, its appearance, its size, its flowering time, its planting time, how to grow it, any special cultivation requirements, and how to propagate it.
Also featured are fourteen field trips, which will take you on fascinating journeys to see some of the plants in the book growing in the wild. The destinations are as diverse as Mount Kinabalu on the island of Borneo (to see tropical rhododendrons) and the Swiss Alps (to see the yellow gentian). In addition, this comprehensive book offers a wealth of information on planning, constructing, designing, and planting a garden. It is complete with a seasonal calendar, cultivation guidelines, a glossary, and an index of both common and botanical names.
