Years of experience answering questions on what to grow in problem sites - plus an impressive career at the Sir Harold Hillier Gardens and Arboretum and plenty of practice in his own garden - make Roy Lancaster an ideal authority to advise on what plant to grow where. Roy Lancaster's What Plant Where is an indispensable handbook recommending plants for every garden situation. In each of the five chapters Perennials (with Annuals and Biennials) Climbers Shrubs Conifers and Trees he takes different sites or conditions and selects plants for them. He also considers desired effects and lists his choice for achieving these. All plant suggestions are illustrated with magnificent colour photographs supported by notes on the plants' special features and size hardiness and light and soil requirements; in short all the facts you need to guarantee the right choice.
