FOLIAGE HERBSCAPES

Try featuring a garden full of color from foliage as well as flowers. You can make a bold statement by combining different color or use just one to set a mood. Silver combines well with gold or purple/red and variegated foliage can set off any other color foliage or flowers. An all silver garden shimmers in the moonlight, while a golden patch adds warmth on even the coolest of summer days. Here’s a list of favorites to get you started - be bold!
