But which are the best plants - and what are their distinctive merits? From the immense and increasing range of plants available to rodays gardeners The 500 Best Garden Plants selects and describes over soo hardy plants, each of which has been chosen for being the very best of its kind. The book is divided into sections for convenient reference - trees, shrubs, climbers, herbaceous perennials and bulbs - and while many of the types described are common and easily available, the less common kinds included are so outstanding that they are worth tracking down. Natural species and forms have been emphasized and only those cultivars that have proved their worth over a long period are included. As well as discussing the special qualities of each plant the author gives advice on its use in the garden and ideas for association plantings. He also provides details of cultivation, hardiness, propagation and place of origin. Richly illustrated with over 3oo colour photographs, this invaluable book will guide both the inexperienced and the practised gardener through the bewildering choice available, and establish a repertoire of excellent plants that could form the vital heart of any garden.
