Ever seen a bright white cloud with the several shades of blue? Ever seen a dazzling silver lined rose in a bunch of dusky blossoms? …That’s the concept of ‘grey gardens’. Gardens, usually are colorful, or are dominantly green. But at the same time, they can carry ‘contrasts’. There are a few plants and shrubs that seem to 'shine' due to the whitish or greyish edges on their leaves. These glittering edges, in turn, help add some sparkle to your gardens. ‘Grey leaf plants’ with their greyish-green or silvery-blue leaves, are primary components of grey gardens. ‘Grey’ – could be any shade of grey, inclined towards complete white or complete black. The purpose is to add a line that has no color, which in turn, could help draw attention. In the midst of color, grey leaf plants grow dull blue, dull green, silver, or white colored leaves – giving your gardens a touch of oddity and unconventionality, which has always proved to be interesting. Examples of grey leaf plants are : aglaonema, artemisia, basil, sage and crassula. Learn more
