Tough Plants for Tough Places: Invincible Plants for Every Situation

By Sharon Amos

A book gardeners need with climate change upon us.

With a handy guide to symbols used in the book to denote special conditions and the plant's properties and advantages, Tough Plants for Tough Places includes:

An extensive directory with more than 100 plants chosen for their ability to survive difficult conditions while adding beauty and color to the garden Techniques to assess your garden and improve what you have Pointers to match available plants to garden conditions Information to help you understand soil and microclimates created by sun, shade and wind Advice on caring for plants in tough situations Suggestions on where and how to plant Practical tips on getting started, planting, routine care and weed control The book now includes Russian Sage, Coneflowers (echinaceas), Blanketflower and other drought-tolerant favorites.
