The Rock Garden Plant Primer

Its not necessary to have a traditional rock garden to enjoy rock garden plants; these colourful, small plants are perfectly suited to the pots, window boxes, and raised beds that are the mainstays of most modern gardens. Here one of Britain’s most knowledgeable and respected plantsmen describes a wide ranging selection of interesting yet easy-to-grow plants for a variety of garden situations, including shady positions, patios and mixed borders as well as the more traditional alpine garden. The book is profusely illustrated by excellent photographs, most taken by the author.
