In Captivating Combinations: Color and Style in the Garden, Norman Winter shows how to create dazzling landscapes based on colors, how to select for harmony, and how to create stunning contrasts. He takes the gardener through combinations of flowers, foliage, grasses, and herbs. He also guides acolytes to companion plantings for special theme gardens, such as cottage, tropical, butterfly and hummingbird, herb and edible, container, and even the new patriotic Victory Garden.
Featuring over 200 color photographs, Captivating Combinations: Color and Style in the Garden is filled with cutting-edge ideas for the savvy gardener working with superior varieties found at today's progressive garden centers. Winter, a revered garden guru, discovers the choicest selections for the savvy home landscaper. Some of these exotic and unusual flowers come from places such as Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, South America, and the Mediterranean, but others are native plants.
Gardeners want to select varieties that not only provide the best value but also offer sizzle and performance within the style and conditions of a particular location. In his book, Winter explains how to transform a landscape into a the garden by combining plants with attention-getting beauty in mind.
