About this title

Synopsis

Do you dream of tropical gardens with their riot of hot, bright color, richly fragrant aromas, and luxuriant growth? But you've probably thought that cultivating such exotic beauty on your home ground was impossible--unless you moved to a house somewhere near the equator! But, that's not so anymore. An internationally renowned gardener reveals the secrets of successfully growing large-scale, extraordinary plants in a rainbow of intense, vivid hues anywhere in the world. This celebration of the exotic and jungle-like tells how to select colors--deep reds, sharp lime greens, and purple-black foliage. Work with form and texture, from spikiness to sensuous curves. All the practical techniques to achieve your goal are here, along with a plant list organized by climate. Gardening has never looked so seductive! A Main Selection of The Garden Book Club. 120 pages (all in color), 8 1/2 x 11.
