The Garden Pictorial

foliage fanfare

Lush leaves bring an exotic touch
 

Colourful foliage provides months of colour for container displays. Here, an eye-catching, lime-green pot is the perfect inspiration for choosing planting partners. A bold tuft of lush green fescue grass, contrasts with the black ophiopogon to create a foil for the silver-plum sedum, topped with late-summer flowers. The bold, bronzed leaves of rodgersia and pink-flushed cordyline add valuable height to this contemporary look.

Season: Summer - August
