Colorful, Splashy Plant Combo for Shade

Silver and white variegation make this mostly foliage-based combination shine in the shade. The big, blocky Fatsia leaves, splashed with white and silver, are at their perfect best in shade and compliment the thread-like Nandina. At ground level, the large silver Pulmonaria leaves balance the fine textures of the Snowline Carex grass, Polystichum fern and lacy Astilbe -- which produces sizzling red blossoms in late spring.
