Publisher's Synopsis
With the increased interest in subtle colours and interesting foliage the hardy euphorbias have naturally become more important to gardeners, as more and more gardeners holiday in the Mediterranean and Aegean regions, where many hardy euphorbias grow naturally.;The author, Roger Turner, was until recently custodian of the National Collection of Euphorbias and has studied them for many years. This book looks at the place of hardy euphorbias in what is a huge plant family and describes how they grow in their natural habitats. Cultivation and propagation are dealt with thoroughly and there is a chapter giving guidance on how to make the best of hardy euphorbias in the garden.;The reference section of the book includes both a key to aid identification and a comprehensive A-Z of species and varieties with clear descriptions, notes on natural habitat plus guidance on cultivation and propagation.
