Silver foliage is easy to see at night and is very useful for defining the edge of paths, driveways and roundabouts in ill lit areas. Brilliant for moonlit night gardens.
When planted at the extremities they make a garden appear longer. Silvers bring light into gloomy corners of the garden. Silvers are ravishing when planted with pastel flowers in pink, blue, mauve and white hues. Consider the Sissinghurst white garden.
Silvers make stunning hedges and are a striking contrast in knot gardens.
