Almost any plant will grow in a container, but which are the very best--the plants that truly flourish outdoors and bring you incredible pleasure? One of the world's foremost gardening experts presents a range of top-of-the-line annuals, hardy and tender perennials, bulbs, roses, shrubs, trees, and herbs, all wonderfully appropriate for potting. And, as the more than 120 lush color pictures prove, all are magnificent. Each plant comes with a list of special features, comments on the most suitable containers (with their heights), and recommended varieties. General advice on composts, planting, care, garden design, and different container styles--freestanding, plastic, terra-cotta, stone, half-barrel, and hanging--will help beginners get started, and provide endless inspiration.
