Upright foliage is great for adding interesting height to your flowering container design. They come in many different heights and textures.

Castor Bean

Castor bean plants, which are not beans at all, are commonly grown in the garden for their striking foliage as well as shade cover. Castor bean plants are stunning with their mammoth star-shaped leaves that can reach 3' in length. Many varieties of ornamental castor beans are available and make a bold statement in any garden. Castor plants like full sun and humid conditions. Provide loamy, moist, but not soaking wet, soil for best results.

Coleus

Coleus are one of the most popular foliage plants available. They have some of the most stunningly colored foliage—in combinations of green, yellow, pink, red, maroon, etc. Coleus also have a wide variety of leaf sizes and overall shapes. This means that no matter what area you are looking to put coleus, you can find one that will be perfect. These plants are great for adding color in the garden (or home), especially in those dark, drab-looking corners.

Grass- Ornamental

Ornamental grasses comprise a marvelous group of plants requiring little care. They are not lawn grasses, but rather a group of plants with graceful habits and heights, fine textures and colors that add great beauty and interest to the garden. Because they last so long, they might be called plants for all seasons. Gardeners have found that ornamental grasses combine well with other flowers and herbs, providing an interesting range of textures and colours to the garden. 
Full Sun to Full Shade most grasses can handle both locations.

Ornamental Kale

Ornamental kale plants can make a wonderful red, pink, purple, or white show in the cool season garden, with very minimal care. Ornamental kale plants were developed for their spectacular colors and are not edible. Although they are sometimes called flowering kale, the plants rarely put out real flowers. The colour is all in their extravagantly ruffled and feathered leaves. Ornamental kale plants are best used as an annual in beds and containers.
