[edit] GARDENING WITH CONIFERS
Adrian Bloom explains how to make the best use of conifers in any garden landscape, large or small, and provides a directory of over 200 of the best cultivars.
From giant sequoiadendrons to dwarf thujas, from columnar Lawson cypresses to low spreading junipers, the range of conifers forms and sizes is vast. With foliage, flowers, berries and cones, they contribute interest throughout the year. They provide a feast of colour: there are conifers that turn bright gold in the winter; some have erimson flowers, others blue cones. They can be spectacular solo performers, used as garden features and focal points; or they can be combined with bulbs, perennials, grasses and shrubs. In this book, Adrian Bloom explains how to make the best use of these valuable and versatile plants in any garden landscape, large or small, and provides a directory of over 200 of the best cultivars. First looking closely at their attributes - colour and texture, flowers and cones - he reveals their wide diversity. He describes and illustrates how conifers can be used in the garden, to provide balance and structure, year-round visual interest and colour - in the form of features, hedges or topiary, planted with heathers and other shrubs, with ornamental grasses, or as ground cover, and in different situations such as troughs and scree beds and rock and alpine gardens. He gives all the practical tips needed for success and, in the directory, the information needed to make the right choice of plant.
