Summary

"Perennials - non-woody plants that can live for at least two years - are deservedly amongst the most popular of plants, valued not only for the dynamic role they play in a garden's structure but also for the way their often stunning colour and forms can be used to alter moods and influence the way we respond to and use a garden. Even so, Michael King believes that however spectacular its flowering a perennial needs to earn its place in the garden, not just through colour but character, and in Perennial Garden Design he shows how to emphasize and exploit this aspect of perennials through careful positioning and plant associations."--BOOK JACKET.
