FOLIAGE PLANTS are an important part of any planting, but particularly so container plantings, which tend to have short periods of interest created by seasonal plants. Foliage, however, provides a permanent background structure against which flowers can come and go.
Gray-leaved plants such as Helichrysum petiolare and Senecio bicolor, syn. cineraria bicolor, play a useful part in different color schemes. When reds and blues are combined with white, gray will "cool" the impact of the strong hues. Its neutral tones make the visual leap to pure white less dazzling. A subdued background of gray foliage will bring out the best in pastel pinks, mauves and misty blues, and will delicately harmonize container color schemes.
