Imagine a garden that never has an off-season, one that brims with eye-catching plants in a marvelous array of shapes and textures long after their flowering season has past. Such a garden can be yours if you fill it with plants that have beautiful, long-lasting seedheads such as the ones Noël Kingsbury presents in this gorgeous and informative book. Lavishly illustrated with color photographs, the book includes a plant directory that grades each plant's seedheads for value and persistence. 

 

"Noël Kingsbury continues to enrich our garden libraries with references that are as useful as they are beautiful.... I am enchanted by an entire book devoted to the beauty of the autumn garden, especially one that emphasizes the seedheads themselves." —from the foreword by James van Sweden
