Foliage Plants: Part 3

There are lots of plants that show their "wow" factor through their vibrant flowers, but there are many plants that can do just that with their leaves. In this series, we'd like to introduce a variety of foliage plants that will add the perfect accent (or even steal the show) to any mixed planter or bedding display.

In Part 3, we feature the Sweet Potato Vine which LOVES sunshine! Then there is Alternanthera, which does best in a half-day sun, half-day shade location. Add a cheese cloth roof over the plants for perfect filtered light. Both of these are vigorous growing foliage plants that have a semi-trailing to trailing growth habit.

Featured Foliage Plants:
Sweet Potato Vine (Ipomoea batatas) 'Marguerite'
Alternanthera 'Purple Knight' (Joseph's Coat)
