Following the success of Colour for Adventurous Gardeners, the most adventurous gardener of all time is back to reveal how he plans, creates and maintains his celebrated borders. Most gardeners want their borders to be interesting and colourful over a long season, even year-round if winters are not too severe. Christopher Lloyd OBE shows how he and Fergus Garrett, Head Gardener at Great Dixter, choose and orchestrate plants for maximum effect. Having covered the principles of succession planting, Lloyd explores the ingredients from anchor plants and permanent perennials to drop-in plants and self-sowers - necessary to ensure continually lively borders. The master of his craft reveals the secrets of keeping every inch of border working hard so that planting schemes are created and maintained in brilliant succession. With superb photographs by Jonathan Buckley, this book will inspire as well as instruct those passionate about their garden.

Christopher Lloyd was one of the world's most outspoken and adventurous gardeners. In this, his last book, he offers his unique perspective on creating 'hot and steamy' planting schemes wherever you garden.

Covering structure as well as content, hardy as well as tender, foliage as well as flowers, Exotic Planting for Adventurous Gardeners is a worthy successor to Succession Planting and an exuberant swansong for one of the most respected and beloved gardeners ever.

To assure a continuous harvest, succession planting is a gardening technique in which crops are planted at various intervals throughout the growing season. Staggering the plantings entails not so much as simultaneously sowing all the seeds or seedlings, but rather ensuring that as one crop is harvested, another is prepared to replace it. This approach facilitates the optimization of resource utilization, prolongs the harvest season, and maximizes the utilization of accessible agricultural area. Multiple advantages are associated with succession planting: 1. Continuous Harvest: Opting for staged planting enables one to benefit from a consistent provision of fresh produce over a prolonged duration, as opposed to amassing a substantial quantity simultaneously. 2. Resource Optimization: By employing succession planting, one can maximize the utilization of both garden space and available resources. By utilizing the space created by the harvest of one commodity for the next, the garden maintains its productivity throughout the entire season. 3. Waste Mitigation: By succession planting, one can effectively manage their harvest, thereby minimizing the risk of wastage, as opposed to confronting an immediate surplus of vegetables or fruits. 4. Season Extension: Succession planting enables one to plant crops that flourish in particular temperature ranges or daylight conditions by capitalizing on varying growing conditions throughout the season. 5. Crop Diversity: By planting a variety of crops in succession, the risk of pests and diseases that target specific plant species can be reduced and soil health can be enhanced. It is crucial to understand the average frost dates in your region and the specific growing requirements of the crops you intend to plant in order to implement succession planting. Certain commodities may be sown in early spring, with subsequent plantings occurring in the middle and late seasons. Successive succession planting requires organizing and planning, in addition to timing and consideration of the life cycle of each

Here, at last, is a book on gardening with colour by its most adventurous exponent -Christopher Lloyd. COLOUR FOR ADVENTUROUS GARDENERS is about using colour for maximum impact.No border, no garden is ever monochromatic and even an all-green garden consists of many shades, yet books for gardeners treat each colour as a separate entity and, like painting by numbers, set out rules to be followed. With a chapter on every colour -from 'Challenging Orange' to 'Sophisticated Black', Christopher Lloyd explores each colour in relation to others and discusses the rules in order to encourage the gardener to break them. 'The limitations imposed by rules,' he writes, 'are a safe-haven, but the adventurous gardener will want to try something different.'If a colour is 'polite', Lloyd certainly knows how to liven it up without making it vulgar. In a fashionable all-white border, he advocates a touch of clear pink to make you sit up; he suggests bright scarlet rose hips in a purple bed to introduce a note of rebellion.COLOUR FOR ADVENTUROUS GARDENERS is NOT another book on gardening with colour. It's opinionated, it's controversial and it's the most colourful book on plant associations you'll ever read.
