Many thanks to the globe trotting Pam Penick at Digging for starting foliage follow up on the day after Garden Bloggers Bloom Day each month to help us remember the importance of foliage in our gardens.
Here is some foliage I found interesting in my garden this January -
Lomata tinctoria, also know as Guitar Plant from Tasmania.
Bergenia 'Bressingham Ruby' is one of my favorite winter foliage plants!
As is Arum italicum. How can you not love a plant that shines all winter long, dies back in the summer and produces beautiful red berries in the fall?
Fatsia japonica 'Spider's Web'
Leucothoe fontanesiana 'Rainbow'
Sciadopitys verticillata
Azara microphylla variegata. Did I mention that there was a windstorm happening when I went out to take pictures?
Hardy cyclamen
Signs that a new garden season is beginning!
