With over fifty-five different flowers to choose from, learn how to curate your dream backyard flower selection whether you’re growing from seeds, seedlings, or bulbs.

A planting chart summarizing the most useful information from the flower profiles is also included, along with guidance on colors and inspiration for arrangements. With an emphasis on seasons rather than months, the book is a beautiful and practical gift for a garden enthusiast, whether they live in the northern or southern hemisphere.
