Succulent plants offer dazzling possibilities for garden design; from the undulating lines of Agave americana 'Marginata' to the frilly-leaved rosettes of echeveria hybrids, succulents come in dramatic, sculptural shapes.

Featuring the work of more than 50 professional garden designers and homeowners in dozens of private and public gardens.

Lavishly illustrated with over 300 photographs, it gives design and cultivation basics for paths, borders, slopes and pots; hundreds of succulent plant recommendations; and descriptions of 90 easy-care, drought-tolerant companion plants. A chapter of growing succulents in cold climates is included.

255 pages; hard-cover with dust-jacket.
