Few hardy flowering plants have as much to offer as the pansy, viola or violetta. Easily cultivated and very resistant to pests and diseases, they guarantee flowers from spring until autumn and are in many ways the ideal garden flowers. This guide covers every aspect of the subject of pansies, violas and violettas: the history and development of the garden pansy; the introduction of viola and violetta; techniques of propagation, cultivation and exhibition; and raising new varieties. Together with a substantial descriptive list of named hybrid varieties and details of specialist nurseries, it also includes lists of recommended species and advice on raising plants from seeds.

Gardening with Shape, Line and Texture
Author: Linden Hawthorne
Publisher: Timber Press
ISBN: 0881928887
Category : Gardening
Languages : en
Pages : 281
Book Description
Gardening with Shape, Line and Texture bridges the gap between garden design books and plant reference encyclopedias. Leading landscaper Linden Hawthorne looks at plants from a designer's perspective (where color is often a secondary consideration) and emphasizes the important roles of plant shape. Part One reviews fine art principles and shows how they can be successfully applied to plant compositions by grouping plants into three heights: ground to knee, knee to navel, and navel to crown. She identifies different plant shapes—buns, mounds, tiers, fountains, uprights—and shows how the use of them contributes to the success of the finished design. Part Two is a plant sourcebook with plants listed alphabetically within their key plant shape categories. This innovative plant reference delivers plant information in a form that neatly dovetails with the garden design process and will inspire gardeners to look beyond color and begin to appreciate the whole plant.
