Every day is terribly hot and we spend less and less time in the garden. In the garden, plants with bright foliage colours add colour to a garden with few flowers.
Coleus is an annual herb that loves the sun and heat and is characterised by its bright foliage colours. It produces small, blue, inconspicuous flowers. In our garden it is planted in two large pots as a summer focal point.
The Japanese jasmine is a vine with young leaves that are bright pink, gradually becoming lighter pink in colour and finally turning green. The pink leaves growing out of the Japanese boxwood hedge look as if they have flowered.
毎日ひどく暑い日が続いて、庭で過ごす時間は少なくなっています。庭では鮮やかな葉色の植物が花の少ない庭に彩を添えています。
コリウスは一年草で、日差しや暑さが大好きで、その葉色の鮮やかさが特徴です。小さくて青い目立たない花をつけます。私たちの庭では大きな鉢2つに植えて夏のフォーカルポイントにしています。
ハツユキカズラはつる性の植物で、若葉が鮮やかなピンク色で、次第に色が薄くなって、最後に緑色に変わります。マメツゲの生垣から伸びたピンク色の葉が、あたかも花が咲いたように見えます。
