Foliage Plants. A term used to designate plants that are grown for the general effect of their foliage rather than for their flowers. The term is indefinite. In some cases, and more correctly, it is used for plants with unique or interesting leaves—usually colored as coleus, Rex begonia, peperomia, calathea, farfugium. In other cases it is used to designate plants of full foliage and graceful habit,—plants that are prized for their general habit quite as much as for the characters of the individual leaves. Of this latter class, ferns, palms, grevillea, screw pine, araucaria, fatsia, ricinus, are leading examples. The latter class contains the most popular commercial subjects, and they are much used in room and table decorations. The plants are often rented for use in temporary decorations. For the culture of foliage plants, refer to the various genera.
