This is a unique guide to a wide range of tropical and hot-climate (also known as Mediterranean or desert) plants. The guide is arranged in three sections: a general introduction to choosing, planting, and using subtropical and hot-climate plants with particular emphasis on hardiness and overwintering the plants; the second section that comprises an A - Z plant directory, in which over 700 plants, listed by their botanical names, are treated to in-depth profiles and grouped as either trees, shrubs, perennials, climbers, palms and cycads, cacti and other succulents, or grasses and bamboos; a third section that includes plants for special uses, and a glossary.
