Description

"To those who have always considered winter a dead season, Colour in the Winter Garden will be a revelation. During those dark months there is no need to make do with a vista of bare, raked soil with a few sprigs of greenery from serried lines of wallflowers or leafless twigs of roses. Writing equally for small or large gardens, Graham Stuart Thomas describes the amazing number of trees, shrubs, plants and bulbs which will give colour in bloom, berry and foliage during winter. He tells of their cultivation, their uses and arrangement, flowering and planting periods (with an easily understood planting table) and the means whereby gardeners may labour less for greater pleasure. Amateur and professional floral decorators will find this book particularly valuable as the author draws special attention to the hardy flowers, berries and foliage which can be cut from the open air in winter."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
