Whether it stands as a single feature in a mixed border, climbs walls, becomes a hedge or allows a profusion of flowers to spill out of pots on paved terraces, the shrub is the essential component of every garden's design. Yet, owing to the dazzling variety of species available, a gardener may be both spoilt for choice and over-awed by such diversity.
Drawing on thirty years of experience and mingling a wealth of sensible advice with his own unbounded enthusiasm, John Cushnie suggests shrubs to accommodate all needs and guides the reader through choosing, planting and caring for shrubs, including his personal favourites of every situation. If you want scent, shape or shelter, glorious autumn colour, bright summer blooms or fascinating evergreens for year-round interest, this book has the plant for you.
