Plant Combinations: Bring out the Blooms with Golden Foliage

  2. Plant Combinations: Bring out the Blooms with Golden Foliage
  • By Kim Toscano
  • February 18, 2020
Golden flowers and foliage make this plant combination a standout.

Designers rely on repetition to create harmony and rhythm in the landscape.

Within a planting, repetition of color weaves the individual pieces of the garden design together. In this combination, yellow is repeated through flowers and foliage, guiding the eye across the planting. Golden and chartreuse foliage not only accent the eye-catching blooms of ‘Marvel’ Mahonia, but also pull the focal point back into the larger context of the planting. Contrasting purple foliage adds depth and complexity.
