Summary

A beautiful compendium of creative flower combinations, The Flower Thesaurus is your one-stop source of planting ideas and inspiration.

Chapter by chapter, you’ll find a collection of colourful plant choices that are suitable wherever you garden, and whatever the size of your outdoor space. Whether you’re taming an overgrown plot, putting your own stamp on a mature and established one or creating a new garden from scratch, there are hundreds of exciting plant combinations that will harmonise, contrast, clash or provide a pop of vibrant accent colour to bring your pots, beds and borders to life.

With all the plants arranged in colour-themed chapters, organised by their main season of interest, it’s easy to dip in and find the exact right plant for the right place at the right time.
