Most of the tried and tested plants we grow in our gardens today are species which originated in other parts of the world. The earliest explorers brought back seeds and plants from their travels, and a similar spirit of adventure and love of a challenge has prompted gardeners throughout history to see if they could successfully cultivate these exotic "aliens" on home soil and in the often more testing conditions of the northern climate. But the main reason why many of these plants are beloved by gardeners is for their beauty, and the dramatic variations of color and form they can add to an existing display. This book presents a selection of the very best of such plants from all over the world, now growing at National Trust properties in the British Isles. Beautifully illustrated with photographs of the plants in bloom and at their peak, this book provides a valuable visual reference source for the gardener and garden designer. An expert text gives details of ideal growing conditions and cultivation to enable you to create your own version of a miniature tour of the world or a "World in a Garden."
