Combining practical know-how with hundreds of inspiring ideas, 'The Macmillan Encyclopedia Of Flowers' guides garden lovers through the processes of planning, planting and maintaining a beautiful flower garden. Here is advice from the experts on assessing a site, deciding on a design style and choosing the best flowering plants.

This inspiring compendium provides ideas and guidance for planning and planting a flower garden. Whether your aim is to create a rockery for rare and fragile plants, a formal garden with the emphasis on line and symmetry, or an exuberant cottage garden, this book will help you achieve that goal. And whatever the size or location - a large expanse in the country or a small balcony in an inner-city area - here are ideas for adding charm, character and colour through the use of flowering plants.

The book contains a how-to reference guide filled with gardening tips and techniques, plus inspirational photographs of garden styles, designs and plant options. Colour is a key factor in a flower garden, and can be employed as accent, as background, to convey a particular mood, and to create the effect of space. A 280-page encyclopedic section features more than 1,000 popular flowers, flowering shrubs and trees.

This inspiring resource is divided into five colour groups: orange-red; pink; purple-blue; white; and yellow. Flowering time, light conditions, cultivation notes, maintenance requirements and landscape use are described alongside a photograph of each plant.
