“Displays of mixed perennials are the mainstay of any garden.  A show of trailing Aurania decorating the edges of a flight of steps, tubs full of Marguerite daisies on a terrace, or a border of miniature alpine perennials along a sun-drenched pathway will give your garden life and colour year in and year out.
With so many to choose from, planting just the right combination of perennials takes planning and imagination.  In Perennials for Bed and Border Stirling Macoboy helps you decide what will suit your garden.
Complete with over 260 superb colour photographs this handy guide describes more than 300 species of perennials, with details about colour, height, blooming seasons, optimum growing conditions, watering, feeding, pruning and much more… everything, that is, that you need to know about choosing and using perennials!.”
