Create interest in the garden through use of color and foliage, like with this pairing of Lamium "White Nancy" and Heucherella "Brass Lantern".
Even a combination of just two types of plants can add instant drama to the landscape through the play of highlights and low-lights created when mixing foliage. Plants with red or purple foliage recede to the eye, while white foliage jumps forward. When planted together, contrasting foliage will add an instant sense of depth and lushness to any bed or border.
