About this title

Synopsis

Types of plants such as camellias, pelargoniums, fuchsias, magnolias, euphorbias, hibiscus and bougainvillaea grow outdoors in Mediterranean or subtropical climates. Most of these plants need the shelter of a cool greenhouse or conservatory in areas that have frost in winter, and a few need heat. All of them can be grown outdoors in the UK summer. This work contains chapters on the garden and greenhouse cultivation of these species, types of conservatory and the habitat of species in the wild.

About the Author

In 1975 Roger Phillips began his life's major work of photographing and publishing pictures of the world's garden plants. He set out to develop an encyclopedic collection of books to show the difference between plants as diverse as mosses, roses and annuals. His first book, Wild Flowers of Britain (1977), was a huge success, selling 400,000 copies in the first year. He has since written 20 additional volumes (often with his co-author Martyn Rix) selling over 6million copies worldwide. His latest book is Mushrooms. Roger has written and presented two major six-part TV series on gardening (BBC & Channel 4). Famed for his ebullient personality and garish red glasses, he has become a well-recognised figure in the world of gardening.
