[edit] FROM BUD TO SEED TEN GREAT PERENNIALS
Ten perennials appear here, each a specific cultivar carefully selected for its innate and enduring beauty. The photographs show every critical stage of their development, creating an album which should inspire planting that is as attractive in Winter as Spring.
Most photographs of flowers show them only at the height of their bloom, a state that rarely lasts longer than a fortnight. But in most gardens, plants are visible for a lot longer, and many will linger all year. So what do specific plants look like when their blooms are in bud, beginning to open, in flower, starting to fade, as a seedhead, or as foliage? Many plants are as beautiful at other stages of their development as they are in full flower, changing colour and shape as time passes; and all gardeners would be wise to choose at least some plants that look good all year round. Carol Sharp has photographed 10 perennials, each a specific cultivar carefully selected for its innate and enduring beauty. The photographs show every critical stage of their development, creating an album which will inspire planting that is as attractive during the spring, autumn and even winter, as it is at the height of the flowering season. Clare Fosters' authoritative prose describes each plant in detail, explaining not just how it develops and the conditions in which it develops, but also its cultural, historic and folkloric associations.
