Foliage Plants
All flowering plants, observes the noted horticulturist Christopher Lloyd, have limited blossoming seasons, which are often quite short. And many of the plants with the most beautiful blooms have the dullest or least attractive leaves. Therefore the character of a garden depends to a large degree on foliage plants - everything from trees to grasses - that last throughout the summer, and sometimes throughout th eyear, and that are grown primarily for their foliage.

Foliage plays a key part in garden design. The colour, and therefore the effect, of the plant is determined by its foliage all the time it is in leaf, whereas the flowers may last only a few days. Choosing plants for different kinds of foliage effects can mean year-round interest in the garden. This book describes the range of colour and leaf shape available, provides a detailed plant list organized by colour, recommends planting positions and gives a list of nurseries.

Foliage is destined to play a key role in the gardens of the future as gardeners increasingly recognise the astonishing repertoire that foliage offers in terms of shapes, textures and colours, from the dramatic impact of large leaved exotics to the subtle sensuality of bamboos and grasses. Here, David Joyce analyzes the characteristics of leaves, shows why foliage is so valuable ornamentally and looks at the way they are carried on the plant and discusses their contribution to the overall effect of the garden. The book also features a special selection of outstanding foliage plants, cross-referenced with earlier chapters.
