Foliage Plants
Foliage is an essential element of garden design, adding texture and contrast, and creating a background for your flower plants to stand out against. Our great value foliage plants come in a range of colours and patterns, making them superb solo specimens in a patio container, or planted as part of a mixed border. Most foliage plants love a shady position in the garden - great for those awkward spots, where you can create a lush, leafy oasis.
