How is the bat-faced flower cared for? What requirements does Angelonia have? And what does the trailing petunia need to bloom abundantly all summer long? The newly released BdB handbook 'Flowerbed, Balcony, and Container Plants' answers all these questions and many more. The diverse range of annuals and perennials, as well as container plants, is presented over 192 pages with characteristic photos and concise, bullet-point texts. It is organized according to the seasons into spring, summer, and autumn plants, and is supplemented with hardy shrubs for containers. It becomes clear that color and structure for flowerbeds, balconies, and terraces do not have to be limited to summer! Accompanying chapters provide tips for design and inform about the selection of boxes and containers and their proper planting. Topics such as watering and vacation care, fertilization and plant protection, rejuvenation and shaping cuts are addressed, as well as the question of wintering perennial but non-hardy species. This book serves as a clear guide and helps ensure the successful care of all the new and tried-and-true species.
