My colorful patio

 I like lots of color in my patio all through spring, summer and fall. The only way to achieve that is by bringing colorful foliage such as coleus. Unlike flowers, foliage can provide color throughout the season without fading.

This year's favorite plant of mine is Persian shield. I used it throughout the patio. The secret to a good design is repetition.

Here I used a Persian shield combination of yellow and maroon shrimp plants.
