Overview

Perennial combinations are the building blocks of beautiful, successful gardens. Choosing perennials that look great and grow well together is a skill that can take years to develop, but with this book, you're guaranteed to make perfect plant choices right from the start. In Perennial Combinations, expert plantsman, C. Colston Burrell hand-selects 120 of the best perennial combinations for homeowners, then offers his expert advice on how to grow and use the combinations to create great gardens.

Each combination is featured in a stunning color photograph accompanied by a numbered photo key and plant list, so it's easy to find and buy exactly the right plants to re-create the combination in your own garden. Each combination features just two to six plants, so they're perfect for even the smallest garden space. You can plant each combination just as it appears in the book, or for a bigger color splash, just repeat the combination or mix it with others that are suited to the same conditions. You'll find combinations for stunning bloom from spring through fall; combinations especially suited to challenging sites like heavy clay soil or seaside gardens; and combinations just for fun, like fragrant combinations and combinations that attract butterflies.

C. Colston Burrell has lived and gardened in different climates across America, so he's made sure this book is useful to gardeners from California to Maine. He's also a professional garden designer, and he's applied his talents to create 22 original garden designs that feature the book's individual combinations. Plus every page includes his personal gardening wisdom, so you'll not only know which perennials to plant together, you'll know how to maintain those perennials so your garden will look beautiful year after year.

    Most helpful garden building book I have read

    This book has taken me to a new level with my gardening. The author shows dozens of combinations of perennial plantings for all conditions and includes wonderful full garden plans. He creates plans starting with only 2 varieties; very simple to understand and duplicate.

    I don't think I will every come home with another plant that I can't find a home for. He takes into account color, texture, season; I was never going to return my library copy, but was fortunate to find it online for $4. I am one happy camper.

    A Terrific Book

    This is the perennial book I've always wanted. It provides detailed plans for many different flower combinations. Great for the beginner, but would also be a good idea book for experienced gardeners.
