The Encyclopedia of Planting Combinations Reviews

What differentiates a lovely garden from a stunning garden? Design, choice of plants, care and cultivation can all be the same; it's the putting together, the matching of all these that creates the difference. Especially the plants which is where this lavishly illustrated, comprehensive guide to the subject steps in. There are so many aspects to think of before planting your latest acquisition - what soil type and aspect, how high does it grow, does the flower colour complement its neighbours, will it flower at the same time or will it grow so fast it will swamp its companions? Experienced horticulturalist Tony Lord offers the reader a vast array of inspirational and traditional combinations all accompanied by the sumptuous photographs of Andrew Lawson. Hours of enjoyment will be gleaned from within these pages organized by plant type and accompanied by valuable cultivation details. From old favourites such as pink roses and silver-leaved artemesias to the bolder citric lime euphorbias and pink dicentras, the combinations are endless and innovative offering choices for every gardener and every situation. An invaluable reference book for every gardeners' bookshelf. - Lucy Watson
