Publishers Description: Foliage is often overlooked in a garden, forming a general background that melds into one and against which showy blooms take centre stage. Yet foliage can be fascinating and add architectural form, interest, texture, and colour to the garden all through the year. The Foliage Garden is a directory of more than 1500 plants grown specifically for their foliage. This is a book for gardeners who love plants. In it, the author shows how to use foliage to best effect, by contrasting leaf shapes and textures, how to showcase foliage that has fabulous tints and tonal values, how to achieve colour in the garden all year round, as well as how to use foliage to attract wildlife, screen against noise and traffic pollution, create height and drama, add maturity and unify your garden look. Use foliage to create drama, enhance a garden showstopper, or to rustle in the breeze. Information is provided on perennials, annuals, herbaceous plants, palms, ferns, succulents and herbs.
