Lamium is a genus with many cultivars that are outstanding foliage plants for the shade, most notably ‘White Nancy’.

Plectranthus ‘Mona Lavender’

Plectranthus cultivars are popular foliage plants, but some gardeners grow them for their blooms, and one of the best bloomers is 'Mona Lavender'.

Hybrid mayapple, Asian mayapple

As the cultivar name suggests, the leaves of ‘Kaleidoscope’ have distinctive markings, which can range in color from silver to light green to nearly black.

Crinum ‘Sangria’

This purple-leaved hybrid has Crinum bulbispermum in its blood, so it is more cold hardy than many other purple-leaved crinums.

With some of the darkest foliage you'll encounter in the genus Loropetalum, 'Carolina Midnight' is a great new introduction that will add some purple punch to the garden.
