Written especially for the Pacific Northwest gardener, this new gardening guide shows how to transform a single-season garden into one that provides year-round bloom. In addition to flowers, other plant life such as berries, barks and leaves can provide brilliant colour on dark winter days. Included in this practical manual are detailed sections on shrubs, vines, trees, perennials, and bulbs that have special winter interest, as well as complete information on cultural requirements, pests and diseases, and companions plants.
There is a limited amount of information available to those who want to use the months between winter and spring as a working part of their year. This book is aimed at those who want to do just that.
This book focuses on gardens in the southeastern U.S. and describes plants that can endure the cold winter months.
