GIANT PERENNIALS

Covering a wide range of herbaceous perennials, including some biennials and bulbs, this work provides information for everything you need to know about these plants. Also included is a directory with easy-to-use symbols that show you size, spread, planting situation and cultivation needs.
Giant perennials are show-stoppers in the garden. There is something magical about the fact that starting from nothing in spring they rise to towering heights by midsummer only to disappear again for the winter. These are plants that make a statement and can be used to provide a backdrop to a herbaceous border or as specimens to draw the eye and amaze the visitor. From the astounding gunnera, 2.4m (8ft) with its leaves as big as the biggest golf umbrella, to the spectacular verbascum (giant mullein) as tall as a tree at 1.8-2.7m (6-9ft), or the socking great Eupatorium purpureum, with 2.1m (7ft) tall stems and cinnamon pink flowers. Quite simply these plants make us feel like Lilliputians. Covering a wide range of herbaceous perennials, including some biennials and bulbs, Giant Perennials provides at-a-glance information for everything you need to know about these amazing plants. In addition to design ideas and planting suggestions, Giant Perennials has an extensive directory of these majestic plants with easy-to-use symbols that show you size, spread, planting situation, cultivation needs and hardiness.Whether you have a large country garden or a small town plot, you can give your garden extra oomph with these amazing, vigorous plants. This book provides you with all the information you need to choose, plant and maintain these garden "heavyweights", which, given the right conditions, will outbox all the other candidates for fame and glory in the garden.
