Though out my garden, I like to create vignettes using potted plants and statuary to bring interest to the garden. However, combining the right combinations of plants and shrubs is always challenging. Well, I am not a professionally trained landscape designer. I try by trial and error. Whenever I am having problems growing something in one area, I create vignettes with pots filled with contrasting foliage. Pots with plants in the garden gives that architectural lift for the plants. Vignettes through out the garden forces me to pause and enjoy my surroundings.
Caladium in the black pots create a vignette in this shady area in the garden
Buddha statue in front of house
Blueberry patch in front of the citrus orchard is another vignette
Another vignette on the patio of Goddess Lakshmi with a maiden hair fern
Another vignette right outside my kitchen window with different ferns and foliage
Of course, my favorite vignette is of limelight hydrangeas with coleus
