Other lists

• Plants for shade

  What grows on the north side of a house, under a tree and against a wall the sun reaches for an hour.

• Plants for bees and butterflies

  Forage from early spring to late autumn, with each plant's flowering months stated.

  A garden that survives July without a hose starts with the plant list, not with irrigation.

• Evergreen plants

  What holds a garden together from November to March, when the rest of it is underground.

• Plants for a hedge

  Species that take clipping and close into a line, with the mature height of each.

• Plants safe with children and pets

• Plants for screening

  For a neighbour's window, a road, and anything you would rather not look at from the terrace.

• Plants for pots

  For a terrace or a balcony, where the soil ends at the wall of the pot and water goes twice as fast.
