Create impact in your garden by choosing .plants

S

ubtlety has its place in the garden, but if you’re after

a backyard style that shouts, ‘Look at me!’, you’ll

want to mix in a selection of large, flamboyant

leaves and in-your-face flower colours. We’ve picked a

few faves from the wide selection available, but while the

look might be distinctly exotic, don’t worry if you don’t

live in a tropical climate. Some of these plants grow just

as well in cooler climate zones, and while a few need

a sunny corner, others will even tolerate light frosts. ►
