Synopsis
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. 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, Roger Grounds guides the reader through the wealth of choice. Individual portraits capture the fluid, dynamic, evanescent beauty of over 100 different grasses, while 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 practical chapters shows how to plant, control, and divide them.

About the Author
Roger Grounds is a distinguished writer, horticulturalist and designer who has been growing and studying grasses for nearly four decades. For many years he ran Apple Court Nursery in Hampshire, one of the first to promote and offer a comprehensive list of ornamental grasses, and in doing so played a major role in bringing these long-neglected plants to their present pre-eminence. He has written, broadcast and lectured on the subject internationally ever since. His many books include Ornamental Grasses, The Plantfinder's Guide to Ornamental Grasses, and the RHS Practical Guide to Grasses and Bamboo.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Grasses are the keynote plants of twenty-first century gardening. They provide year-round interest and are hugely versatile offering a diversity of size, form, colour and texture unsurpassed by any genus. They are treasured for the way they seem to capture light and bring structure and movement to gardens of any size. A relative newcomer, a hundred years ago gardeners only had the choice of eight or ten ornamental grasses. Now thanks to nurserymen, breeders and collectors around the world there are several hundred varieties. These cover an enormous range of sizes, textures and colours and are suitable for almost any growing condition. Informative and inspirational, this book guides the reader through this wealth of choice selecting the grasses best suited to various garden uses, habitats and design styles. Individual portraits at the heart of the book capture the fluid, dynamic and evanescent beauty of the different grasses, while photographs of borders and gardens illustrate a host of ideas for growing them. The possibilities are limited only by the imagination of the gardener or designer. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR001602962
