Easycare ferns & foliage
Many plants are grown for their interesting foliage rather than for their flowers. For example, plants with variegated foliage^ such as many varieties of Euonymus fortunei and Euonymus japonica. These have little floral interest but are highly desirable garden features. Other plants may have beautiful ‘architectural’ shapes such as the striking fan-shapes of some ferns. Green hues calm busy colours and can soothe the spirits of stressed people. Green is especially effective in shady corners, perhaps around a seat. Large-leaved Hostas and dramatic Fatsia foliage are good choices for such positions.
