Description

This book takes a fresh look at garden-worthy plants for Australian conditions.  It will help gardeners to reappraise their climate, select appropriate plants and modify garden practices to create beautiful gardens featuring native and exotic plants with proven drought tolerance, reliability and minimal weed potential.

The New Ornamental Garden shows how heat, cold, water availability, rainfall patterns, length of growing season, evaporation rate and humidity influence plant growth in Australia, from the web sub-tropics to the temperate climate of southern Australia.  It also discusses the influence of microclimates within a garden: dry sun, dry shade, moist sun, moist shade, seaside conditions, exposed sites, urban situations and root competition.

The main focus of the book is the plant index, which contains notes on hundreds of plant varieties and how they function in the garden.  All gardeners will benefit from reading this book.
