Planting: A New Perspective Book

Planting: A New Perspective By Piet Oudolf and Noel Kingsbury

Famed landscape architects Piet Oudolf and Noel Kingsbury share Oudolf’s original planting plans and plant groupings—the only book to explicitly show how his gardens and landscapes are made.

An intimate knowledge of plants is essential to the success of this approach and Planting makes Oudolf’s considerable understanding of plant ecology and performance accessible, explaining how plants behave in different situations, what goes on underground, and which species make good neighbors.

Extensive plant charts and planting plans will help you choose plants for their structure, color, and texture as well as the way they perform in the landscape. A detailed directory, with details each plant’s life expectancy, the persistence of its seedheads, its tendency to spread, and propensity to self-seed, is an invaluable resource.
