By Yvonne Cave

Succulents, with their great variety of form and colour and easy-care reputation, are becoming increasingly popular. This increased desirability has led to more and more species becoming available, and the choice can sometimes be overwhelming.

SUCCULENTS FOR THE CONTEMPORARY GARDEN helps the succulent lover to make sensible choices when deciding what species are appropriate for their contemporary garden. Descriptions and cultivation information are given for 60 genera and hundreds of species of these fascinating water-storage plants.

Illustrated throughout with 350 colour photographs, this book is an important addition to the succulent connoisseur's library.
