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.

Scardy Cat Plant

Coleus canina

Discourage feline intruders with the scented foliage of Coleus canina - Cats and Dogs hate the smell! Luckily it is not offensive to humans. The neat grey green leaves and small pale blue flowers make this an attractive addition to borders too. At its most effective when grown in full sun, the scardy cat plant (as it is also known) is undemanding and surprisingly drought tolerant. Height: 45cm (18"). Supplied as 40mm plug plants. More info

Fascicularia bicolour

(Bromeliad)

  • Unusual addition for rockeries and containers
  • Metallic blue flowers
  • Rosettes of silver-green and scarlet red leaves
This eye-catching exotic Bromeliad makes an extraordinary sight in rockeries, alpine gardens and containers. Fascicularia forms spiky rosettes of linear, silver-green and scarlet red leaves with a central boss of astonishing metallic blue flowers. Surprisingly, this Chilean native is hardy to -10C (14F) when grown in very free draining soils, but will appreciate cloche protection during winter as it resents cold, wet conditions. Alternatively, grow Fascicularia bicolour in a pot that can be moved to a dry, frost free position over winter. Supplied in 13cm pot. Height: 40cm (16"). Spread: 60cm (24").
