Title: Gardening with groundcovers and vines
First published: 1993
Description: The first fully illustrated book to consider these two kinds of plants as indispensable elements of a garden--instead of substitutes for turf grass in shady spots or to help screen an ugly view. Garden columnist Allen Lacy explores the unsuspected charm and beauty of these plants, teaching his readers that together they provide the density, diversity, and depth that are essential to a truly satisfying garden. The book goes far beyond the staples, calling attention to hundreds of easily but not commonly grown plants: groundcovers for sunny places and shady ones, herbaceous perennials and woody plants, vines both perennial and annual. With over 140 full-color photographs.--From publisher description.
