Grasses And Bamboos Noel Kingsbury |
$19.95 |
The distinctive appearance of Bamboos and Grasses makes them invaluable garden plants. Planted as single specimens in beds or containers, they make striking focal points. In mixed borders smaller forms bring rhythm and diversity, while vigorous groundcover richly carpets the garden floor. Many are evergreen, and some variegated ones perform better in shade, making them perfect for difficult corners. This innovative book is both a celebration of the exciting qualities of this richly diverse group of plants and imaginative presentation of their uses in the garden. The easy to use directory of the 100 best bamboos and grasses gives all the descriptive information that is needed to facilitate plant selection, from color and size to cultivation and the most appropriate use of the plant. Includes a handy map of USDA hardiness zones of the US on the inside of the front and back covers. 112 pp, 220 color photographs, 6 1/2" x 11 1/2", hardcover, © 2000 |
