The indispensable reference book for every gardener and lover of flowering bulbs.
There is a bulb in flower every day of the year, and no other group of plants is so versatile or easy to cultivate. Over 1000 bulbs, corms, tubers and rhizomes from all over the world are shown in bloom in superb full-colour photographs. The text and illustrations are arranged in flowering order to guide gardeners on how to choose size and colour, how to plant and grow bulbs, and how to select soil conditions and flowering times.
Included too are lists of specialist suppliers and societies to ensure that the reader can obtain every species.
First published as THE BULB BOOK, BULBS has been revised and expanded to include many more varieties. It is now published in the new series of illustrated guides to garden plants by Roger Phillips and Martyn Rix. |
