Greens are vibrant in your garden during spring and with careful plant selection good foliage can be grown throughout the seasons.

Many shrubs flower before or as the buds are breaking. The greeny yellows and the limes are a joy to behold

Some variegated shrubs give double the value with the greens and yellows blending so well. Who need flowers?

Leaf shape, leaf colour and overall plant form are worth considering when opting for a new plant in your garden.

Inside our house we have a large number of plants that have been chosen for their leafy green appearance. This is a calming colour and the moisture around the plant improves the humidity levels.

More exotic colours are not always difficult to cultivate but access to sunlight generally helps.
