Seasonal Progression
Leave it to the leaves in this foliage friendly combination for the shade. Each of these perennials carries substantial foliage interest with complementing colors and texture. ‘Jack of Diamonds’ Brunnera will be covered in periwinkle blue flowers in early spring before large silver splashed leaves take over in summer. DOLCE® Heuchera will have bright foliage colors in spring and tall flower spikes in summer. SHADOWLAND® Hosta vary in size and color, but all are classic, durable garden plants with strong spring and summer foliage interest.
