About this title

Synopsis

At last—here is a container book with many new and original angles.

Authors Graham Strong and Claire Phoenix have written about and photographed many of the 300-plus shots in this book. They show, step-by-step, how to grow over 60 of their favorite planting schemes, incorporating tried and tested plants into a wide variety of pots, tubs, hanging baskets and window boxes.

Here you will find recipes for all seasons—from the cool, sophisticated blues of spring to the informal mass of cosmos and petunia blooms in summer. You will discover advice on color, where to position and how to group your pots and baskets for maximum impact, and information on care and maintenance.

Includes:

- Containers for spring, autumn and winter, not just summer
- Over 60 specially grown step-by-step container recipes
- Ideas for continuing the container through the seasons
- More than 300 color photographs, many taken by author Graham Strong
- Invaluable good advice tips featured throughout the book
