  In the Colour Garden Series , the possibilites of tint, tone and hue are explored and depicted. Each of the volumes presents the most effective and aesthetic uses for a specific colour theme and gives detailed plant lists for each, along with cultivation instructions and blooming periods. This text explores the blue family, from the tranquil to the electric, the steel blue-grey of ornamental grasses to the more traditional charms of forget-me-knots and bluebells. Organized into the following chapters: Beds and Borders ; The Rock Garden ; The Cottage Garden ; The Butterfly Garden ; and finishing with a section on complementary colour schemes, this text offers a palette of ideas for anyone who wants to create a garden with impact.
