While having lots of colorful flowers in the landscape is a desireable goal, there are many plants that are extremely valuable additions to any landscape design and they have either no flowers or their flowers are insignificant. Foliage plants such as ferns and groundcovers are often used to fill in spaces with nice green colors and interesting textures. Many of the foliage plants will grow happily in full shade, and so are often used to fill in areas where few flowers would thrive.

Foliage plants are definitely valuable players in any attractive landscape. So don't overlook them as you develop the looks of your yard.
