About the book
This book is for you if…
- You love waterlilies and want to grow your own, in a pot or a pond.
- Your waterlilies give you leaves but very few flowers.
- You want to propagate your plants and share them with friends.
- You have a pond that never seems to flourish.
- You want to know the varieties that really thrive in the tropics.
Waterlily in Bloom gives you the practical advice, detailed instructions and inspiring stories to turn your water garden into a vibrant oasis, whether you are a complete beginner or already have a pond.
It is a fully illustrated photographic book: every technique is shown on real plants from my garden and the ponds I care for, from setting up a pot to coaxing out the next flush of blooms.
