RHS Spectacular Plants and how to grow them showcases the world's most bizarre, surprising, weird and wonderful plants, and reveals how many can be easily grown at home! Aimed at enthralling readers in the 8-12 year old age range, RHS Spectacular Plants and how to grow them reveals an incredible range of plants that truly defy belief: from deadly insect-eating sundews, to sensitive plants with leaves that move rapidly when touched, to flowers that look like tiny dancing people, to a Begonia that resembles Darth Vader. All of the plants included in this book are harmless, and most are easy, fun and enthralling to grow on the windowsill, in the garden or the greenhouse. Age appropriate text and more than 400 mesmerising images explain each plant's adaptations and the science behind each species' unusual traits. This work also reveals how to cultivate many of the world's most interesting plants, allowing children to grow at home stinky star-fish flowers to startle their parents, or chocolate mint plants, white strawberries and purple potatoes to surprise their friends! RHS Spectacular Plants and how to grow them makes plants and horticulture fun and engaging! This work will appeal to students, schools, naturalists, pet enthusiasts and all those interested in science and conservation. This is the must-have book for budding young naturalists!
