A Beginner's Guide to Choosing and Planting Summer Flowers

If you are a beginner gardener you may well not know the names of plants, so it is difficult to look them up and see how, when, and where to plant them. In this book, there are thirty plants listed under their colours, all of which are ideal for pots, containers and hanging baskets, grown on patios in town gardens and on apartment balconies. Each plant has a photograph of the flowerhead, with helpful advice and hints to help you create a colourful display for the summer months, at little cost and time. There are sections in the book telling you about compost, photographs showing you how to plant in the containers or hanging baskets, and finally suggestions for popular culinary herbs to grow in terracotta pots.
