Plants for Foliage Colour

Points to remember: 

Some plants have good foliage colour only at certain times of the season - early growth in spring or leaf colour in autumn. Many plants in our range have silver or grey foliage but I have only included in this list those that are particularly striking in the border. 

Our selection includes only those with good interest for a fair part of the year.
