Ferns & small foliage
For foliage interest and texture, there are no more beautiful plants. They range from architectural giants to plants of delicacy and charm. There are ferns for boggy places and even ferns that take dry conditions. The unfolding of the fronds is a joy in spring as are the often overlooked, subtle spring tints of some varieties.; Other foliage plants such as Heucheras will delight with their colourful foliage and Hostas with their often large variegated leaves. Hebe as well offer a great deal with flowers as well as lovely foliage.; Top tip: Ferns will need their fronds cut back in spring to make way for new growth.
