030500-1025

Find out which plants will grow well in specific areas of your garden. Years of experience answering questions on what to grow in problem sites -- plus an impressive career at the Sir Harold Hillier Gardens and Arboretum and plenty of practice in his own garden -- make Roy Lancaster an ideal authority to advise on what plant to grow where. Complete Selection System: What Plant Where is an indispensable handbook that recommends plants for every site in the garden. Organized into five chapters -- Perennials (with Annuals and Biennials), Climbers, Shrubs, Conifers, and Trees -- this book considers dozens of different garden conditions and suggests ideal plants for each. Detailed plant lists also let you achieve such effects as autumn color or fragrant flowers, and the comprehensive index lists all the plants recommended in What Plant Where. Photos of Every Plant: All plant suggestions are illustrated with radiant color photographs and supported by notes on the plants' special features and size, hardiness, and light and soil requirements -- all the facts you need to make the perfect choice. Never before has it been so easy to put the right plant in the right place!
