foliage plants
Grown for leaves
Foliage plants are plants grown primarily for their leaves rather than their flowers or fruit.
The term appears most often in indoor gardening, where ornamental leaves provide year-round visual interest: Ferns and philodendrons are classic foliage plants.
The category includes plants with striking colors, textures, or patterns—variegated pothos, elephant ears, snake plants.
