Hugely influential throughout Europe in its original version, this new English edition shows how to create a garden that can look wild but is tame at heart. The authors have spent over 20 years assembling a range of 600 plants that are strong and reliable, with distinctive texture and form, a more 'natural' appearance, and a subtle colour palette. They are attractive when not flowering, with interesting seedheads, pleasing autumn colour and striking winter silhouettes. A number of thematic schemes are described, and growing instructions and requirements are given in detail.
