Horticulture at Level 2. Plant Examples

Aimed at horticultural learners, this plant examples guide is a handy reference to quickly learn a range of plants for different situations. Great as a study aid and revision resource.

Every horticulture course requires you to memorise plants for various placements in a garden, like dry shade or bog plants. This guide is designed to make your life easier by listing plants under a wide range of headings, with plants repeated throughout the book so you don't have to learn hundreds of different plants; in fact this book lists just over 150 plants under 135 different headings, from lifecycles to use in the garden, seed dispersal mechanisms to plants used in different design styles.

Plants listed are commonly found in gardens and essential knowledge for your horticultural endeavours. For each plant you'll find:

• Latin and common name
• Meaning of the specific epithet (species name)
• Hardiness rating
• Description
• Photo
• Other categories it could be used for

An essential book for any level 2 horticulture course, including the new (2022) RHS level 2 syllabus.
