Description
Annuals and perennials have always held a special appeal because of the vast array of colour, size and style of plants available. In fact, their versatility provides the gardener with a multitude of choices. You can carefully mix the colours to accentuate trees, shrubs, the house or some other garden feature, or produce a glorious display of colours across the spectrum by planting en masse. Flowering annuals and perennials can be used as garden borders, in rockeries, on the edges of ponds, in containers, or as the crowning feature of a traditional cottage garden. Easy to grow and quick to bloom, annuals and perennials are delightful, cheery flowers to have in the garden. With its friendly design, and handy plastic cover, 500 Popular Annuals and Perennials contains plant descriptions, cultivation notes, planting and flowering times as well as a well-organised, informative and accessible table giving you helpful information at your fingertips. A climatic zone map helps to give you an idea of the climatic needs of the plants you would like to grow in your garden. The introductory section details the essentials such as buying and choice, soil and site preparation, planting, maintenance and nurture, design, placement and usage. Gardening with annuals and perennials will bring out the artist in any gardener. Whether you're an amateur gardener who wants to create a palette of colour in the garden, or a more experienced gardener who enjoys experimenting with different colour combinations, 500 Popular Annuals and Perennials has something for you.
