Ideas for your garden can be easily found on social media, in magazines & at garden shows but the addition of foliage plants is without a doubt the easiest way to create interest in your garden. Planted out in a feature garden, among existing plants or in a large feature pot, there are many plant species that will provide the “Wow” factor you may be looking for for your garden design.
Agave, Bromeliad, Yucca and the awesome Furcraea (just to name a few), are great plants with great structure. Some species provide variegated leaves and stunning unusual flowers, ensuring a spectacle throughout the year.
Foliage plants make a seemingly dull landscape come alive with just the addition of a few plants to your design. Most foliage plants do very well in those hard to plant, shady areas too. Used well, foliage plants will create a tropical or resort style garden. It is then that the addition of statues, decorative bowls, seats & lanterns see a Balinese Garden come to light. The hard structural features that are included in your landscape design will complement the theme you are wanting to create; therefore turning a simple yet beautiful tropical garden design into a Balinese escape.
