Foliage Plants

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.

(Bromeliad)

  • Unusual addition for rockeries and containers
