Wer wünscht sich nicht einen Garten, der rund ums Jahr blüht und Freude bereitet? Oft reduziert sich die Blütenpracht leider auf wenige Wochen im Frühsommer, und spätestens ab August sieht der Garten für den Rest des Jahres trostlos aus. Wie man harmonische Pflanzungen plant, die den Garten an 365 Tagen im Jahr blühen lassen, und wie man die Blütezeit verlängert, zeigt dieser umfangreiche Ratgeber. Entscheidend sind dabei die Gestaltung mit Farben, Formen und Texturen, die unterschiedlichen Blütezeiten der Pflanzen und ihre geschickte Kombination miteinander. Darüber hinaus bietet das Buch zahlreiche Pflanzenportraits und Listen der am besten geeigneten Pflanzen sowie Vorschläge für schwierige Standorte und Topfpflanzen.
