Product Description
Synopsis
This gardening guide looks at the possibilities of using grass for decorative effect, not just in lawns and meadows, but also in borders, as background shrubs to enhance other plants and as a means of creating dramatic contrasts. The versatility of grass as a foliage plant is increasingly being realized with the popularity of naturalistic planting styles. Many more cultivars are now readily available as the fashion for using grasses has steadily gained momentum in Britain, Europe and the USA. As well as numerous ideas and guidance, the authors give detailed descriptions of a wide range of ornamental grasses, choose the most appropriate plants for a range of garden habitats, and direct the reader to the best varieties of grass for garden use.
