Aesthetically, they soften hard edges, visually knit together other garden plants and features, and create a canvas to showcase focal point plants, buildings, and sculpture. The Complete Book of Ground Covers by professional nurseryman Gary Lewis, shares 4000 outstanding varieties, from Acaena to Xanthorhiza. Each plant profile includes botanic and common names, hardiness zones, size and habit, native ranges, and details on special hybrids or varieties. A chapter on planting provides trusted information on care and maintenance and details on how to successfully use ground covers in garden designs. Helpful lists of ground covers by type help the reader find the perfect plant for every purpose. The Complete Book of Ground Covers will appeal to horticulture professionals, garden and landscape designers, and experienced home gardeners seeking a thorough guide to take their garden to the next level.
