Tropical Plants and How to Love Them

By Marianne Willburn

In Tropical Plants and How to Love Them, author and speaker Marianne Willburn inspires readers to add exciting tropical accents to their temperate gardens with confidence and flair – awakening tired summer gardens and turning dull suburban patios into sophisticated, late-night destinations.

Willburn uses five memorable relationship types to help gardeners determine the different levels of care required for many common and uncommon tropical plants, and match those to their life and limits. Experienced tips for winter storage, extensive design advice, and detailed plant profiles covering 60 genera and hundreds of cultivars are also included in this beautifully photographed and encouraging reference.
