When we talk about plant color, we usually think green. That's natural since most plants have leaves that are green. However, there are many shades of green for foliages, from the grayish greens of some junipers to the dark greens of many hollies. Some plants have leaves with splotches of white, cream, or gold. Leaves of some plants will change color as the seasons change, adding bursts of yellows, reds, and oranges.
Many plants have flowers that add color to our landscape.
Plants often used for their flower color include azaleas, camellias, forsythia, hydrangeas, spireas, roses, and crape myrtles. Color may also be a characteristic of the fruit. Hollies have red or black berries. American beautyberry has bright purple fruit. When you consider color in your landscape, don't limit yourself to the foliage.
