Aquatic Plants and Their Cultivation by Helen Nash

Aquatic Plants and Their Cultivation by Helen Nash

Nothing adds tranquillity, movement, interest, and style to a garden like a water feature. But without the proper plantings, a garden's pond becomes little more than an oversized puddle. Packed with superb full-color photographs of thriving water gardens, this detailed manual will help you select, cultivate, and care for aquatic plants in your garden. Learn the basics of planting, fertilizing, propagating, caring for plants year-round, and controlling pests and disease. Then choose the plants that suit your water garden and your tastes. Extensive fully illustrated directories list the commonly available submerged aquatic plants for ornamental ponds, floating aquatics and aquatics with floating leaves, hardy and tropical water lilies, lotuses, marginal aquatics, and water irises. For each plant you'll get its scientific and common names, a description of its appearance and habits, and important information on potting, growing, and propagation. This valuable resource will help ensure the success of your garden. The definitive book for water gardeners!

A retired English teacher, longtime quote collector, and puzzle aficionado, Helen Nash has authored eight water-gardening books and compiled two other collections of humorous cryptograms (all published by Sterling).

Originally from Gary, IN, David Nash is a semi-retired Purdue Industrial Engineer who spends time in New Jersey and Indiana. He enjoys playing with his four grandchildren, reading, solving puzzles, and opening the door for canines. He has two daughters and lives in rural Zionsville with his wife, Helen.
