AUSTRALIAN BOOK includes AUSTRALIAN PLANTS WRITTEN IN AUSTRALIA for AUSTRALIAN CONDITIONS Succulents have come a long way since grandma's day when they were represented by a few spiny and neglected specimens in clay pots. Today succulents demonstrate their many advantages in Australian gardens and landscaping through their outstanding colour, shapes, form, and textures as well as their maintenance advantages and hardiness. With the advent of water wise gardening, more gardeners are demanding information on how to choose and use these outstanding and care-free plants. No longer just thought of as potted specimens, they are gaining favour as ground covers, borders, living mulches, fire retardants, slope stabilizers and in a host of other exciting roles. |
