Continuous Color: A Month-by-Month Guide to Flowering Shrubs and Small Trees for the Continuous Bloom Garden

By Pam Duthie

A Colorful Garden means more than blooming flowers. The structure and foundation plants should contribute multiple seasons of interest too! Now choosing trees and shrubs for garden beds and specimen features has never been easier. Pam Duthie has selected 272 small trees and shrubs and arranged them according to month of interest. Flowers, fruit, foliage, fall color, stems, and bark are all considered. Written in clear, concise prose -- Pam's no-nonsense descriptions tell you what you need to know to choose the right plant. Each entry features a color photo of the plant, plant type, USDA hardiness zone, height and spread, foliage and fruit description, problems, care, insider's tips, and plants to combine in the garden.
