  The growing of herbs in gardens, usually for culinary purposes, has enjoyed a revival in recent years. It is perhaps a less familiar endeavour to try growing herbs that are beautiful plants in their own right - to grow variegated or coloured varieties that add interest and distinction to the garden. In this book, the author has selected over 40 such plants to tempt the keen gardener, describing their cultivation, history, medicinal and culinary uses. A reference chart enables the reader to see those herbs that are suitable for their purposes, with planting schemes for both gardens and containers included.
