Woodland Plant Combo with Fab Foliage

This plant combination provides plenty of all-season structure thanks to its reliance on attractive evergreen foliage in a range of colors, textures, and shapes that is offered up by the boxwood, Chamaecyparis, Fatsia, and Mahonia. With strategic placement, these plants can be used to create a boundary, edge, or visual screen. And it would be a fantastic combination for adding curb appeal to a front yard entry garden or courtyard. But it's far from static. The maple, hydrangea, and hardy geranium keep it interesting thanks to the changes they display over the seasons and through the year in their foliage color and via their contribution of flowers.
