Gardeners' Question Time Plant Chooser: Inspired by the Popular 'Plant of the Week' Feature

by Matthew Biggs, Bob Flowerdew, John Cushnie

Gardeners' Question Time Plant Chooser is a guide to achieving your garden’s all-time best throughout the seasons. Four expert author-gardeners have selected 700 species, and many more varieties, that will flourish in temperate gardens in the northern hemisphere—flowers, fruits, vegetables, annuals, biennials, perennials, shrubs, trees, and more—in all their diverse glory. Each entry provides basic information, including the plant’s preferred soil and situation, its flowering season, hardiness, and eventual height and spread. But, most importantly, it explains why each author believes their chosen plant—always a personal favorite—is a fantastic addition to the garden. This superbly illustrated directory is complete with a section on practical matters, such as planting, pruning, pests, and propagation.
