Planting your garden

Choosing the right plants for your garden is much easier once you know how to match your plants to the conditions you can offer them.

There are many factors to take into account - soil, sun, shade, flower and foliage, colour, habit, height and spread - that all too often the beginner's uninformed choice may lead to disappointing results.

This text offers a range of advice on how to use a wide choice of plants for specific positions and purposes.

This is four of the Wisley Handbooks collected in a single volume to provide a convenient format at a saving in price: "The Mixed Border", "Plants for Shade", "Foliage Plants" and "Ground Cover Plants".
