The trio of evergreen plants is selected for foliage and ease of care. Emerging leaves of Pieris japonica 'Flaming Silver' provide a pop of vivid spring color. In late spring and early summer Astilbe 'Fanal' produces spikes of red blooms. Bright variegation and fine texture of Carex 'Everest' brings out the best in Viburnum davidii.
