Items related to Discovering Annuals
A handbook on growing annuals. It shows and explains how to choose and grow plants raised from seed and demonstrates the many ways to use them in the garden for spring and summer displays. Graham Rice explores the use of annuals in carefully co-ordinated plantings and intimate groups as well as in traditional cottage-style borders, in mixed borders in sun and partial shade, and in containers. The book features both familiar and not-so-familiar plants.

Review:
For anyone who has hesitated over investing time in the growth and care of these plants, Graham Rice's Discovering Annuals is a revelation. Stunning photography conveys countless variations of color, height, foliage, and combinations, for pots and cut flowers, as well as in borders. Meanwhile, his accompanying text is absorbingly anecdotal: the entry for the cleome, for instance, commences with the engaging question, "What on earth are they?"
Book Description:
Beautiful and readable though it is, this book is also aiming to equip readers to make their own decisions about planting annuals. To that end, Graham goes systematically through the alphabet, pointing out particular opportunities to experiment as well as warning of possible pitfalls. The most satisfying course, he suggests, is to ignore fashion and concentrate instead on trying to discover your own personal taste in an ongoing process, whatever your level of expertise.
To give this development some practical grounding, a cogent advice section, glossary, contact details for suppliers, further reading, and index are accompanied by a specially designated Web site. This last not only contains additional information, but also the promise that supply details given in the book will be updated--a final, convincing example of Graham's genuine desire to enhance the reader's gardening experience. --Fiona Murphy
After a period of comparative neglect, annuals are once again being widely used for garden color. The author's book is a lively combination of inspirational planting ideas & solid practical information.
