The Subtropical Garden; or, beauty of form in the flower garden.
W. Robinson
Great leaves and bold outlines, not just bright petals, make a garden dramatic. William Robinson champions the subtropical style: cannas, acanthus, aralias, and other architectural plants grown for their form in the flower garden. Practical lists of species stand beside his design arguments. A stylish manifesto for planting with structure. Bring shape and grandeur to your borders.
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.
