Rainy Side Gardeners' Featured Book
Exotic Planting for Adventurous Gardeners
by Christopher Lloyd
Christopher Lloyd (1921–2006) was one of the world's most outspoken and adventurous gardeners. In this, his last book, he offers his unique perspective on creating "hot and steamy" planting schemes wherever you garden. It features his most extravagant plantings in the famous borders and pot displays that delight and excite, and sometimes shock, visitors to his garden, Great Dixter. Covering structure as well as content, hardy as well as tender, foliage as well as flowers, Exotic Planting for Adventurous Gardeners is a worthy successor to Succession Planting and an exuberant swansong for one of the most respected and beloved gardeners ever.
"Offers appreciative enthusiasts enlightening counsel to round out the recommendations in his previous efforts. ... Lloyd sets forth innovative pruning and manipulating methods to optimize the visual impact of plants. Moreover, he suggests plant selections both hardy and stunningly structural in character, along with alluringly vibrant bloomers. ... Lloyd's informative observations are peppered throughout with his inimitably opinionated, witty remarks"
