Synopsis
There are many different ways to grow an alpineplant and much depends on the habitat and climate of a particular species' natural home. Alpines, from Mountain to Garden gives a refreshing new perspective on these irresistible mountain dwellers by looking at their discovery and introduction intocultivation, the regions of the world they come fromand how this should be taken into account whenplanting them in your garden. Over 300 plants are described and beautifully illustrated.The most significant alpine floras are covered - North America, South America, Japan, China and the Himalayas, Australia and New Zealand, Europe andAfrica. Each chapter considers what plants grow in each region, from high altitudes in lowlandconditions, to drainage, climate, light levels,temperature and precipitation. The introductorychapters include growing, conservation and theimpact of indiscriminatecollecting on many species now on the verge of extinction., A refreshing newperspective on these irresistible mountain dwellers, looking at their discovery and introduction into cultivation, the regions of the world they come from and how this should be taken into account when planting them in your garden., Alpines, From mountain to garden is a refreshing new perspective on the many stunning plant species that make their home above the treeline. Where most guides to alpine plants have favored collecting and rare species, Richard Wilford offers a holistic approach that describes their discovery and introduction into cultivation and why these factors must be taken in to consideration when planting these mountain dwellers in your garden. Organized geographically, Alpines, From mountain to garden covers the conditions--drainage, climate, light levels, temperature, and precipitation--and species native to each of nine regions, including the United States and Canada, South America, China, Europe, and Africa. In all, over three hundred plants are described and prolifically illustrated. Additional chapters cover cultivation, conservation, and the impact of indiscriminate collecting on the many species that are now on the verge of extinction. With its wealth of insight into where alpine plants come from and how this affects their cultivation, this new book from Kew's Botanical Magazine Monograph series is sure to be a hit with gardeners, collectors, travelers, and photographers alike.
