Product Description

Review
... they succeed handsomely in presenting a clearly-reasoned approach to design (Garden )

If you want to understand the medium in which garden making of the future is going to work, you can find it all here in the illustrations. Oudolf is held to be one of the great horticultural innovators (Fred Whitsey Daily Telegraph )

Product Description
Ornamental grasses are among the most important plants used by garden designers. This book shows how to use them to transform a garden.

Grasses lend an architectural quality to a garden; they provide texture, background interest and a year-round range of subtle colours. They are also highly versatile, hardy and reliable. Many are evergreen and some perform better in shade, particularly useful in awkward corners where other plants struggle. The distinctive appearance of grasses makes them invaluable in combinations with flowering annuals or textured perennials.

A catalogue of over 150 varieties and cultivars gives details of the best ornamental grasses, sedges and bamboos for a wide range of garden situations.

5.0 out of 5 stars an eye-popping introduction to using ornamental grasses, 16 Feb 1999
By A Customer
The gorgeous photos in this book are all that is needed toa convince us that we have negelcted this group of plants in our gardends for too long. The pictures are backed up with very informative and well written text, including many charts showing companion plants and plants for specific sites and conditions. There is a catalog of the authors' recommended species and cultivars. It includes USDA zone information for U.S. gardeners. Hopefully this volume will encourage plant suppliers to offer more of these fine plants, including the wonderful cultivars selected by Piet Oudolf.
