Simple Contrasting Foliage<\/strong><\/h3>\nMiscanthus sinesis<\/strong> Graziella is a vigorous ornamental<\/a>, clump forming grass with bold narrow leaves that grow to 4 feet high. It is well behaved and will not spread and has showy white flowers at the end of the season.
\nVariegated foliage can add a new visual dimension and the white striped leaves of Gardeners Garters Phalaris<\/strong> arundinacea Picta has floppy to arching leaves that can be stricking. It is a bit of a thug spreading rapidly in damp soil but you can plant it in a buried pot.
\nThe Solenostemon<\/strong> family of Coleus<\/a> have a wide range of colours often on the same soft leaf.
\nFor mobile grass try Pennisetum alopecurides<\/strong> the Fountain Grass with seed heads that can reach 3 feet high.<\/p>\n![\"Wheat](\"http:\/\/farm3.staticflickr.com\/2732\/4109472392_c67d7c67ae.jpg\")
