| Foliage Plants |
| This page will feature plants grown for their decorative or archtectural folige rather than for the beauty of their flowers and will be updated with new photos on a regular basis. |
 |
| Although at first sight my collection appears to be based more on flowers than foliage, but a large number of the plants are there purely for their foliage, either for colour of leaf or the architechtural effect. There are over 50 varieties of hosta and over 40 forms and species of ferns as well as many grasses, bamboos, acers and other selected foliage plants, which act as a foil for the more brightly coloured flowering plants. |
| For nurseries that sell these plants check out the links page. Recommended reading - The Plantsman's Guide To Garden Ferns by Martin Rickard published by David & Charles. The Hosta Book by Paul Aden published by Timber Press. The Gardener's Guide series published by David & Charles has books on Hostas, Acers & Temperate Bamboos. |
