With detailed profiles of over 15,000 garden plants, this is an essential reference for all gardeners and horticulturists. The A-Z encyclopedia of Garden Plants features over 6,000 superb photographs, each illustrating the diverse forms and colours of a spectacular array of plants while special close-up panels illustrate the spectacular ranges of flower colours and shapes.
From new and exotic plants to heirlooms and garden favourites, all plants are arranged alphabetically by their botanical names for fast, straightforward access, and previous names and common names appear as cross-references throughout the main text. The A-Z encyclopedia of Garden Plants also features detailed plant profiles, prepared by an international team of over 60 specialists, describing growth habit, leaf and flower anatomy, plant height and spread, geographical origin, and Canadian hardiness zones. This is the essential reference work for ornamental garden plants in Canada.
