In fact, due to my degenerative eye condition, I'm extremely photophobic and have to limit time spent in natural daylight, so gardening and I don't really mix well.Plants presented gouped by colour, along with basic info on requirements (sun/shade, hardiness, water requirements) and a thumbnail photo, lots of cultivars included in photos.

Due to annual changes to some plant nomenclature, nursery plant lists and supplier contact information, we strongly recommend you always refer to the most up-to-date edition of the directory.
