Anthurium (pink), Breynia nivosa 'Roseopicta', Hakonechloa m. 'All Gold', Heuchera 'Amber Waves', Campanula poscharskyana, Coleus 'Dark Star'

• Many house plants with beautiful leaves can adapt to garden conditions in the summer, provided you site them where the sun is less intense.  This grouping for shade features a pink anthurium backed by a variegated blush and cream snow bush (Breynia) that echoes the rose in the bracts of the anthurium. Japanese ribbon grass (Hakonechloa) and coral bells (Heuchera) in tones of gold bring light to the shade. The purple hues of the campanula and coleus are deeper echoes of the pink of the anthurium and contrast with the gold grass and coral bell leaves.
