"There is an infinite number of possible plant combinations--but some simply take your breath away." David Stuart's opening observation is dramatically demonstrated in Classic Plant Combinations. This gorgeous book presents 75 plant groupings that have achieved classic status--the ancient pairing of roses and honeysuckle, prized for their scent and form; Monet's timeless pools of irises and water lilies; the elegant genius of Gertrude Jekyll's mingling of hostas and ferns; the luxuriant expanse of Rosemary Verey's alliums and laburnums. Arranged by garden area and type, and spanning the length of gardening history, the plantings encompass borders, woodland and water areas, walls and trellises, kitchen gardens, and wildflower meadows. Throughout, Stuart details each combination's origins, explains why it has become a classic, and provides designer profiles as well as expert advice on cultivation and design. The book is complete with 200 sumptuous color photos and paintings. David Stuart is a leading garden designer and the author of Gardening with Antique Plants.
