Now that the background plants are in place, it's time to add plantings to the foreground. Foreground plants include the following:- Coleus (Solenostemon Scutellarioides 'Stoplight') (figure A). The magenta color will lighten or darken based on sun exposure. Coleus are not cold hardy, but make excellent houseplants during the winter.
- Coleus (Solenostemon Scutellarioides 'Sherbet' ) (figure B). As the bright green/yellow leaves mature they form a cup shape, exposing the interesting vein patterns on the leaf back.
- Coleus (Solenostemon Scutellarioides 'Red Velvet') (figure C). Unusual blend of gold, red, yellow and rust.
Plectranthus (Plectranthus 'Variegated Nicodemus') (figure D), trailing plants, also good in pots.Variegated Liriope (Liriope Muscari 'Variegata') (figure E), silver variegated foliage.Dead Nettle (Lamium Maculatum) (figure F), a ground cover for the front of the garden.

- Seedless grape (Vitis Vinifera), trailing foliage.
