This scheme of handsome, compact foliage plants is well suited to a small garden space and would be a good choice for a front entry because it looks great year-round. It has on overarching warm vibe thanks to the mahogany, red, and cinnamon tones contributed by Rhododendron 'Teddy Bear', Sienna Sunrise nandina, and Heuchera 'Mahogany'. Astilbe x arendsii 'Deutschland' offers spires of seasonal blooms in creamy ivory and the duo of Cephalotaxus harringtonia 'Fastigiata' and tassel fern provide an evergreen frame of rich, dark green foliage. This scheme of handsome, compact foliage plants is well suited to small garden space and would be a good choice for a front entry because it looks great year-round.
