White, yellow, blue, and red: Charles Hunn arranges the garden by the colors of its flowers. His practical garden-book sorts plants by bloom and use, from bedding edgings to climbers and the kinds that flower after frost. Handy, clear, and made for the working gardener. A quick-reference companion for planning a beautiful border. Design your garden by color and season with a practical expert's help.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
