For most homeowners, shrubs are an essential part of the yard or garden because they provide shade, flowers, and foliage from spring through fall. Unfortunately, the choices available at many
garden centers tend to be predictable and often unsuited to the local climate and growing conditions. It doesn't have to be that way. The superior plants available today can transform ho-hum
gardens into scenes of beauty and serenity. For decades, the Gossler family has tested, propagated, and sold hardy shrubs fromaround the world. This book is a distillation of their expertise--a
guide to more than 350 of the most beautiful, versatile, and growable shrubs. Plant profiles describe the plant's main characteristics, give height and spread, and list the growing conditions
needed to thrive.--From publisher description.
