Book description
Patio, balcony or windowsill – all can be transformed into an eye-catching delight. To ensure your success, this guide will enable you to choose the most appropriate container for your needs: plastic or concrete often suit a modern setting, while terracotts looks best with brick, and wood looks good anywhere.
Then there is the question of the most suitable plants for your situation, taking into account the size and type of container you have now chosen and the amount of sunlight the flowers will receive. Whether you settle for lobelia cascading from a hanging basket, delicate snowdrops and irises nestling in a window box, petunias and helichrysum in an elegant terracotts tub, or geraniums of white, soft pink and rosy scarlet in a wheelbarrow, you can be sure that Martyn Rix will tell you all you need to know.
