7 Silver Leaved Perennials
If you are looking to fill your garden with silver leaved plants, here is a list of 7 perennials to help get you started.
2.’Silver Mound’
(Silver Mound Artemisia) Soft feathery leaves grow into compact, cushion-like mounds. Has multiple applications in the landscape including edging, rock gardens or containers.
3.’Crested Surf’
(Crested Japanese Painted Fern) We are proud to introduce the first perennial fern to the Proven Winners lineup. ‘Crested Surf’ looks similar in color to a traditional Japanese Painted Fern, but the tips of the fronds are double crested. A vigorous, taller variety that can fit the middle of the border. Perfect for moist, shady areas of the garden.
4.Jack of Diamonds’
(Heartleaf Brunnera) A giant version of the classic ‘Jack Frost’ – with a twist. Huge 9-10” leaves overlap at the base, appearing circular from a distance. The leaves have a heavy silver overlay with wide, dark green veining. Baby blue, forget-me-not type blossoms are held in clusters above the foliage. Superior leaf spot resistance.
5.FRUIT PUNCH
(Pinks) Hot cherry red double flowers are 1¼-1½” wide and have a dark burgundy eye. The spiky clump of silver-blue foliage creates a stunning contrast with bright red flowers. Looks great all summer.
6.DOLCE
Unlike other silver Heucheras, ‘Silver Gumdrop’ has vibrant pink flowers instead of the typical white. Silver, iridescent leaves and a semi-glossy finish. Leaves take on a rosy-blush overtone later in the season.
7.’Silver Mist’ The brightest silver foliage of any Lavender; ghostly whitish appearance from a distance. Forms a bushy, very well-branched, uniform clump of aromatic foliage. Lavender-purple flowers appear a bit later than typical Lavenders.
8.’Pretty in Pink’
Large, bright rose pink flowers are produced in large flower clusters over a low and wide habit. Dark green leaves are lightly to moderately speckled with silver. This plant will thrive in part to full shade with adequate moisture.
