Adding Contrast
Sticking to monochromatic foliage can have a real impact, but if foliage-only containers aren’t your cup of tea, try using monochromatic foliage with flowers in a contrasting color. We stuck to a cool palette for our flower selections, using bright violet and lavender blooms to offset the chartreuse foliage. A two-tone palette is a great way to unify and stylize your container garden. Using containers that are either neutral in color or that match your palette will amplify the effect!
Black Foliage
Don’t underestimate foliage. It can be rich and dynamic all on its own. These deep plums, rusty reds, and shiny black tones can be even more striking than a bouquet of flowers. Whether paired with modern containers or planted in ornate ancient urns, dark foliage plants create a whole world of luxurious depth. If foliage alone isn’t your thing, these plants can be a versatile backdrop to offset bright flowers and provide striking contrast to an arrangement.

Silver Foliage
Neutral, calming, serene silver. Silver foliage is remarkable for its subtlety. A limited palette of silver foliage is all about texture and form. Its neutrality draws the eye to other qualities of the plant like the feathery line quality of artemisia, the firework-like blooms of pennisetum, or the iridescence of ‘Frosted Berry’ heuchera. The cooler tones of this foliage only add intensity to any bursts of color you might add to your patio decor.
