Parched : 50 plants that thrive and survive in a dry garden

Omtale

Kew: Parched is a collection of over 50 beautiful, fascinating and-most importantly-drought-proof species from around the world.We often think of the most beautiful plants as those that are lush, verdant, and need careful care and tending-but what if we could change the way we think of botanical beauty to include those that thrive with hot sun, parched earth and little to no water?Following the hottest summer on record, Kew: Parched explores the captivating variety that exists in the world of dry plants. From roadside daisies native to California and prickly pear cacti from the Mexican desert to the familiar sights of lavender, rosemary and yarrow, this incredible range of species is explored through beautiful botanical illustrations from Kew's archives in this gorgeously packaged gift book.
