More Information About Colored Foliage
Plants With Colored Foliage
- I want a red one and a blue one and a yellow one
Here at Plant Delights Nursery, we have a huge online catalog of perennials and to make your shopping experience easier, we have created several mini-catalogs from it on various themes including, plants with colored foliage. This group is considered by some to be different from variegated plants in that by some people's definition, variegation does not include intentional genetic color variations such as stripes or spots and it does not include plants with a solid color leaf that is not green. Plants with colored foliage are those that have evolved multi-colored leaves or leaves that are not green on purpose. Plants with colored foliage are wonderful landscape design elements as they stand out really well against the back-drop of green-leaved plants all season long. Our mini-catalog of plants with colored foliage includes both variegated plants (due to mutations), plants with solid colored leaves that are not green, and plants with naturally occurring striped, speckled, or spotted leaves.
