About this product

Product Information

Breeding New Plants and Flowers gives step-by-step guidance on creating your own plant or flower. It encourages gardeners of all abilities to experiment with the endless possibilities of crossbreeding by demonstrating how this magical process is achieved, and it places the thrill of creating and naming a prize-winning plant within the reach of all. The book includes some thirty plants and flowers. Specific advice is given on a wide variety of techniques from the straightforward annual to the more demanding chrysanthemum. Throughout the book, the importance of selecting and working from good parent plants is emphasized. A key to each plant allows easy navigation through the book and indicates the difficulty of each stage of the process. Summary notes and recommended sites also highlight pertinent points to help the gardener choose the right plant for their temperament and skills. For instance, the aquilegia is suggested for the beginner, daffodils for the patient and lettuce for the adventurous. No special tools or big garden are needed to start breeding plants: just a love of plants and a desire to create something special and unique. For those who already breed, this book gives essential advice on how to achieve the best results and to try other varieties. Book jacket.

You learn something new every day.
I have loved plants ever since Granny introduced me to growing them when I was 10 years old. I'm over 50 now and I learned things from this book that I didn't know. If you already grow some of the plants in this book, you'll wonder why you have never tried breeding them. Try, also, to read about the plants you've never grown; I'm sure you will learn something fascinating about them.
