Flower Grouping in English, Scotch & Irish Gardens" refers to a classic early 20th-century book by Margaret H. Waterfield, offering guidance on garden design and plant combinations for these distinct styles, blending formal English roses and delphiniums with wilder Scottish thistles and Irish heathers, focusing on colour, texture, and regional suitability to create harmonious displays. The book emphasizes naturalistic planting, using specific plants like foxgloves, lavender, and native wildflowers to capture the essence of each country's garden tradition.
