The book covers: - Where to grow bulbs - When and how to plant bulbs - and at what depth - Caring for the plants before, during and after flowering - Notes on heights, flowering time, cultural requirements, propagation techniques and potential problems from pests and diseases Illustrated in full colour throughout, with over 150 colour photographs.
