Informal borders and beds drenched in colour throughout summer are prime features of cottage gardens. These may be created with a medley of plants, including herbaceous perennials, summer-flowering bulbs, half-hardy annuals and hardy annuals. As well as brightening up the garden, many of the flowers can be cut and used in flower arrangements. This fully-illustrated guide should help you to pick and grow the right flowers for your garden. It offers advice on essential techniques, and on tackling pests and diseases. A selection of recommended species and cultivars is also included. The "RHS Wisley Handbooks" series is written by leading experts for the Royal Horticultural Society.
