Discovering Annuals is the hot new book on annuals and bedding plants by award winning garden writer Graham Rice. Published in separate editions in the UK by Frances Lincoln and in the USA and Canada by Timber Press in March 1999, Discovering Annuals at last shows that annuals and bedding plants really do have style. Discovering Annuals comprehensively banishes the idea that the only way to use annuals is in garish and predictable municipal plantings. The fresh approach, lively text and contemporary ideas quickly dispel the unfashionable image which has hampered annuals for so long, and reveals them as key plants for creative gardeners. Carefully colour co-ordinated plantings demonstrate that familiar plants can take on new lives in thoughtful combinations and that unusual annuals have their place alongside the old favourites. The book has been prepared in two editions: the original British edition has been comprehensively adapted for American readers with the help of award winning American garden writer judywhite and features varieties, techniques and planting ideas specially chosen for American gardeners. Rarely has a British gardening book been adapted so thoroughly. In most cases, however, the online extracts from the book are from the British version. The large format (10in x 10in) book features 192 pages with 200 colour photographs - many showing colour co-ordinated plantings in Graham's own garden.
