The Plantfinder's Guide to Ornamental Grasses is wide-ranging and thorough in its exploration of grasses from their history and biology through to plant selection and garden uses. The planting plans in the book show both the effects which can be achieved using grasses alone and how well they associate with other plants. A final section on the care and aftercare of ornamental grasses complements the planting information with sensible, practical know-how.
