Check out this combo of tender plants at the Mary Livingston Ripley Garden in Washington, D.C. While the plants' forms are bold, their textures and colors are soft and soothing. Included are foxtail fern (Asparagus densiflorus 'Myersii', USDA Hardiness Zones 9-11), Diamond Frost euphorbia (Euphorbia 'Inneuphdia', Zones 10-11), and Mexican bush sage (Salvia leucantha, Zones 9-11).
