Black and Gold Foliage Combo
Not necessarily groundbreaking, but a good solid combo to put in your arsenal of ideas. Start with this duo as an evergreen foundation, and then add plants with complementary attributes to round out the scene. For example, plants that offer seasonal blooms or fall color and/or a different leaf shape or plant form would round out this composition. Options, so many options! But building on a good foundation is key.
