Among the most important plants used in contemporary landscape design, ornamental grasses and bamboos can transform an ordinary outdoor space into a gracious garden in a variety of ways, all beautifully illustrated in this innovative book.
Easy to grow and maintain, the grasses and bamboos featured are shown as part of imaginative design schemes. Planted as single specimens, they make striking focal points; in mixed borders, smaller forms bring rhythm; in water gardens, they add height; in shady areas, gentle movement. The book includes a directory of the best one hundred grasses and bamboos and all the essential guidance needed to care for, propagate, and maintain these interesting plants.
