Blooms are great, they are the driving force behind gardens and often the reason we purchase a plant. But as experienced gardeners we know that a successful garden also relies on great foliage, movement and texture. I have found that it’s often the plants with the best textures that draw the most attention. Here are three plants with great texture to consider for your garden.
Rattlesnake Master
Seriously, there’s nothing better than this for the full sun, pollinator garden. It is so unique, with its multiple spiky flowers that don’t really look like flowers until you get up real close. The foliage is a lot like a yucca’s, but with little serrations. Rattlesnake master’s gray-green foliage has a cooling effect in a garden dominated by dark green foliage.
