RHS What Plant Where Encyclopedia

An Expert Guide to Growing More Than 3,000 Plants

After introducing plant groups and soil types this volume categorizes 3,000 plants by their preferred location (sun or shade) or by particular qualities, such as their suitability for a specific style of garden, or their seasonal interest, colour or shape. Each species is illustrated and accompanied by a brief description as well as a key indicating their height and spread, optimum light and moisture levels, hardiness, appeal to pollinators and potential as cut flowers.
