The Color by Color Plant Directory is the perfect companion for anyone who is deciding which plants to choose to grow. We tend to take great care with home decoration, but color isn't always our first consideration when it comes to the outdoors. This pocket-sized guide shows you how to make the most of color in your garden. The first part of the book explains how color harmonies work and how to combine plants for instant impact.

The Color by Color Plant Directory will enable you to select the perfect combination of flowers, fruit, and foliage to create whatever outdoor color scheme you choose.
