Fantastic Foliage Plants

Flowers tend to be the plants in the garden that get given their, well, flowers... But in our view, foliage plants are just as deserving of their spot in the limelight! From the ruffled, scalloped foliage of heucheras to the filigree fronds of certain ferns, these plants are every bit as aesthetic as their blooming counterparts.
