Australian Native Plants provides both the amateur gardener and the professional horticulturalist with complete information on every aspect of the propagation and cultivation of all the native trees, shrubs, and plants that are recognised as suitable for growing in large and small gardens. It is by far the most comprehensive and detailed on the subject to date and contains a wealth of information on over 2500 species: what plants to grow in different climates; plants for special purposes such as windbreaks; plants for particular locations such as rockeries and water gardens; how to cope with pests and diseases, and how to plan and landscape a garden using native plants. There are over 140 colour and over 300 black-and-white photographs and line drawings which are invaluable guides to plant identification, especially of lesser-known species." -- from the front fold over panel blurb.
