Tropical Plants and How to Love Them
Building a Relationship with Heat-Loving Plants
Marianne Willburn
Description
Tropical plants are energizing. They awaken a tired summer garden with lush, sensuous foliage and fascinating flowers and turn a suburban patio into a sophisticated, late-night paradise. But if you garden in a temperate climate and have been reluctant to commit to what you're sure will be too much work, it's time to let Tropical Plants and How to Love Them act as your tropical matchmaker.
Using five relationship types to help you understand the different levels of care required for many common (and uncommon!) tropicals, the author introduces you to an impressive array of outstanding tropical plants by providing care instructions, easy tips for seeing these tropical beauties safely through the winter and advice for designing a tropical paradise of your own.
The book gives you permission to jump headfirst into:
- A summer romance that ends with the first frost
- A long-term commitment to beautify indoor and outdoor spaces
- A friends-with-benefits relationship that yields exotic flavors and fragrances
- A breakup with that high-maintenance beauty
- A best friend relationship that lasts a lifetime
