Publishers Description: The invaluable companion to Tropical and Subtropical Gardening. Harry Oakman writes for people who love plants and enjoy gardening, but What Flowers When is no ordinary gardening book. Rather, its primary purpose is to indicate when warm climate flowering trees and shrubs, renowned for their brilliant colours, are at their most colourful. Peak colour times of ornamental warm climate plants are given, together with a short description and photograph, and brief notes on size, outline, general appearance, growth habits and site and soil preferences. The botanical family to which each plant belongs is provided as well as its related species. What Flowers When provides home gardeners and garden planners, as well as newcomers to Queensland, with invaluable advice on which decorative trees and shrubs are suitable for a particular purpose and how to plant to ensure year-round flowering.
