The sensuous delight of colour is one of the greatest pleasures that gardening offers. In this compact, accessible volume, Tom Fischer profiles 100 top-performing flowering plants (including perennials, bulbs & flowering shrubs) in ten different colour categories, concentrating on those that are both widely growable in a variety of climates & that are the most striking representatives of their colour group.

Fischer also discusses what is distinctive about each plant & recommends companion plants for the garden. This information, paired with Clive Nichols' stunning photographs, makes " The Gardener's Colour Palette" an invaluable source of both practical advice & inspiration. ...
