Tropical Foliage Border

Consider the Leaf for Color and Texture in the Garden

The gentle curve of these two borders display the contrast and beauty of foliage textures and colors vs. reliance on flowers. Palms, cycads, bromeliads, succulents, ferns, begonias and other non-woody tropicals planted densely as a heavy ground layer is an effective alternative to finding a suitable, one variety, groundcover in our region.
