Wild perennials

Do you love nature? Do you want a garden full of harmony, inspired by nature and filled with perennials that attract butterflies? Even wild or native perennials can be beautiful in a garden. They are incredibly diverse, more resistant to pests and weather conditions, and much better for our local wildlife, such as butterflies, bees, bumblebees, various insects, birds, and more.

There's nothing stopping you from transforming your garden. Garden centres now offer a wide variety of wild, native perennials – because, of course, these are not dug up from the wild! The authors of this book present simple and tested planting designs for flowerbeds, illustrated with colour drawings, using plants that not only draw inspiration from the surrounding landscape but also green up seemingly problematic and unusable areas of the garden.

What's more, near-natural perennial beds are less maintenance-intensive than classic flowerbeds and will delight you with their appearance all year round.
