Exotic Planting for Adventurous Gardeners

Christopher Lloyd (1921–2006) was one of the world's most outspoken and adventurous gardeners. In this, his last book, he offers his unique perspective on creating "hot and steamy" planting schemes wherever you garden. It features his most extravagant plantings in the famous borders and pot displays that delight and excite, and sometimes shock, visitors to his garden, Great Dixter. Covering hardy as well as tender plants, and foliage as well as flowers, Exotic Planting for Adventurous Gardeners is a worthy successor to Succession Planting and an exuberant swansong for one of the most respected and beloved gardeners ever.

“Of the many people who, during his lifetime, have written about gardens and gardening, Christopher Lloyd was the best.” --Anna Pavord, The Independent
