This book looks at an aspect of gardening that is often neglected. Foliage has a part to play in every garden, but particularly those in which there is more shade than sunshine - and focusing on plants with attractive leaves opens up a whole new area to explore. The fully illustrated directory of more than 250 foliage plants includes symbols giving information on growing conditions and plant performance.
Inspirational photographs and illustrations show the different effects that foliage plants can produce, and there is also helpful advice on planting in hot or dry growing conditions, and using foliage for hedges and boundaries.
