Colorful and beautifully shaped: Native wild perennials meet all the requirements for classic perennials. Moreover, their durability and sustainability make wild perennials a yearly attraction for butterflies, wild bees, and birds, which is what makes them unique. Brigitte Kleinod and Friedhelm Strickler offer ecological alternatives to conventional garden design with native perennials, flower bulbs, and annual flowering plants in this book. Their expertise and sensitivity for creating beautiful yet low-maintenance gardens help ensure the successful establishment of these uncomplicated wild plants. The authors have designed and tested 22 attractive ideas for every location: from nutrient-rich soils in the shade to sunny sandy soils, in front of hedges, beneath trees, and alongside buildings. Transferable planting plans for each garden bed assist in implementing these suggestions.
