Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most hostas are propagated not from bulbs, but rather from crown divisions or from plants started in containers. Hostas are commonly grown in gardens for their beautiful and decorative leaves, which can last for several seasons. Instead of starting with bulbs, they are grown from the plant's central crown. Here is a quick rundown on the typical methods of hosta propagation and cultivation: - Most hostas are propagated through crown division, which is also the most efficient way. Digging up a mature hosta and chopping off portions of the crown is the first step. Roots and several young shoots (called "eyes") should be present in each division. New hosta plants can be grown from these cuttings. - Hostas can also be acquired from nurseries and garden centers as container-grown plants. Transplant only healthy, well-established hostas from their containers into your garden or an appropriate container. - Soil and Location: Hostas like well-draining soil that maintains moisture but doesn't become soggy. They like shady conditions but will survive in more direct sunlight. Planting hostas need nutrient-rich soil, so be sure to include plenty of organic material. - Hostas should be planted in a hole just slightly bigger than the root ball or division. Plant it at the same level it had been growing at before. Due to their variability in size, hostas should be planted at intervals determined by the respective variety. - When watering, make sure the soil is never dry but never soggy, too. Hostas thrive in consistently moist conditions but may withstand brief periods of drought. - Mulch: Mulch around hostas can help retain soil moisture and cut down on weeds. It also helps the soil maintain a more consistent temperature. - Fertilize hostas using a slow-release, balanced fertilizer in the spring and again in the early summer. Fertilizer should be applied at the rates specified on the packaging. - In order to promote healthy growth and enhance the plant's aesthetic appeal, it is recommended that dead or damaged leaves be removed on a regular basis. Overcrowding can be avoided by dividing hostas every few years. Hostas are low-maintenance plants that are well-known for their versatility. Because of the variety in size, leaf color, and shape, they are frequently used to brighten up shady garden spaces. Although they aren't commonly grown from bulbs, their lush foliage and aesthetic appeal make them a worthwhile addition to many gardens.

Book excerpt: Since the first edition was published in 1992, Nick Robinson's The Planting Design Handbook has been widely used as a definitive text on landscape architecture courses throughout the world. It remains one of the few titles written by a practicing landscape architect and educator who is also a horticulturalist and accomplished plantsman, and which deals with the application of planting design on a large scale in landscape architecture and urban design projects. The Planting Design Handbook is distinctive for its elegant integration of an ecological approach with an understanding of visual and spatial composition. It emphasizes the role of vegetation layers and designed plant communities in complex and diverse plant assemblages for all kinds of sites and uses. This expanded and comprehensively updated third edition still provides a complete examination of principles and practice of design for public, institutional and private landscapes. It takes account of developments in theory and practice, especially in the use of perennials, and reflects a variety of media and approaches current in landscape architecture and design. All chapters have been revised and re-written to ensure updated references and new references have been added. Many new photographs of planting and projects around the world have been included, with examples of current professional drawings to illustrate the design process. It is generously illustrated, including a colour section and the beautifully detailed line drawings of the Chinese architect and painter Jia-Hua Wu.
