There is probably no one on earth who has not been bothered by it at some time, or at least knows, someone who has.

They most certainly do, according to plantswoman Carol Klein, who has been growing, propagating and showing plants for more than thirty years. In Plant Personalities, she demonstrates how understanding their needs and giving them the best conditions in which to thrive enables plants to develop their true characters - the qualities that make them what they are - or who they are.Personality traits are as valueable as height, habit and flower colour when choosing which plants to grow and how to grow them. Good-natured, bread-and-butter plants contribute to the overall picture for months, while others are fleeting, shooting to stardom for a brief but breathtaking performance. Wafty whisperers add a touch of frivolity, bringing rustling rhythms to beds and borders.… Read More
