Grasses: Choosing And Using These Ornamental Plants in the Garden (Rhs Series)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
A comprehensive, stunningly photographed guide to gardening with ornamental grasses, among the most varied and versatile of all plants.
Grasses are the keynote plants of 21st-century gardening and garden design. They offer a diversity of size, form, color, texture, and flowering time that is unsurpassed by any other genus, providing color and interest across the entire year. Their everchanging beauty can be used in endless ways, offering new opportunities for creative expression in the garden. There are grasses suitable for dry and wet gardens, tiny urban plots and large country gardens, formal gardens or truly wild spaces. In this splendid book, supported by the Royal Horticultural Society and illustrated with 200 gorgeous color photos by Andrew Lawson, Roger Grounds guides the reader through the wealth of choice. In the Gallery of Grasses, at the heart of the book, individual portraits capture the fluid, dynamic, evanescent beauty of over 100 different grasses, while in Designing with Grasses, inspiring photos of borders and gardens illustrate a host of ideas for growing and planting them. Another section illustrates and explains the unique structure of grasses, and a practical chapter, Caring for Grasses, shows how to plant, control, and divide them.
