I recently participated in a Monrovia webinar on New Plants and Garden Trends for 2026. One trend focuses on the use of dark foliage mixed with chartreuse and variegation to create dramatic contrast – Goth Gardening. As someone who loves contrasting foliage I decided to give it a try in some of our shade containers at Golden Belt. See my plant list below and check out our video on Instagram.
- Cercis canadensis ‘Garden Gems® Amethyst’
- Aspidistra ‘Tiny Tank’
- Arachniodes simplicior ‘Variegata’
- Acorus ‘Minimus Aureus’
- Ajuga ‘Black Scallop’
- Rohdea japonica
- Heuchera ‘Midnight Rose’
- Muehlenbeckia axillaris
