I did a container this summer out front that was mostly about foliage, but not all that green -- different trailing coleus and 'Purple Majesty' millet.... yes, there's a 20 inch container somewhere under there! The color on the millet was more striking earlier in the summer -- here, the leaves are faded, greened-out, and quite grasshoper-chewed!
