Foliage: Dramatic and Subtle Leaves for the Garden

From the subtle sensuality of bamboos and grasses to the dramatic impact of large-leaved exotics, leaves offer an astonishing repertoire of shapes, sizes, textures and colours for the garden. Foliage is both a revelation and a guide: leading gardening writer and planting adviser David Joyce analyses the characteristics of leaves and the overall form of plants grown for their foliage. He then explores the ways in which the dramatic and subtle qualities of leaves can be used to get to the heart of what makes foliage so valuable ornamentally in the garden.David Joyce is the author of 'Foliage: Dramatic and Subtle Leaves for the Garden' with ISBN 9781570761874 and ISBN 1570761876.
