The Encyclopedia of Planting Combinations by Tony Lord
Every gardener wants to create the perfect garden. With this in mind, this planning guide features more than 1000 individual plants in combination with other plants, showing over 4000 imaginative and visually effective displays, providing detailed information about which plants go best together according to location, soil type, climatic and seasonal considerations. Separate chapters are devoted to shrubs, small trees, roses, climbers, perennials, annuals and bulbs.
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 differenceEspecially 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
