Dripping with red berries, festooned with hanging ropes of white flowers or pink petals, and bedecked with shiny patterned leaves: all year long, evergreens, shrubs, and climbers make a garden seem alive. Their plentiful foliage makes them superb for hedging and screening a yard or home, while their graceful structure enhances any landscape design. Even better, most are extremely low-maintenance. A renowned botanist, horticulturist, and photographer shows you how to grow and take maximum advantage of broad-leaved evergreens, and introduces a range of plants listed by foliage, flower color, season of flowering, and other helpful categories. An extensive directory gives details on a wide selection of these hardy trees, with more than 130 of the author's striking photographs. A Selection of the Garden Book Club.
