Summary of Native Ferns, Moss, and Grasses: From Emerald Carpet to Amber Wave, Serene and Sensuous Plants for theGarden

Award-winning author William Cullina's beautifully illustrated book of "background" plants for North American gardens

With this new volume, Cullina completes the set of stunning books on native plants for the garden that includes Wildflowers and Native Trees, Shrubs, and Vines. All three books combine Cullina's fresh and entertaining style with encyclopedic information about the plants and specific instructions on how to grow and propagate them.

Cullina compares a garden made up of nothing but bright colors to the detergent shelves in a supermarket, where every package screams for attention. What makes a true garden out of a collection of flowering plants are the ferns, mosses, and grasses that are the verdant canvas on which nature paints its portraits. These are the plants, he says, that bring a level of refinement and sophistication to the garden unmatched by any flowers. Without these plants, nothing would hold the garden together. Cullina shares information that will make you see landscaping as never before.
