Banana (Musa spp), Elephant’s Ear (Colocasia spp), and Bird of Paradise (Strelitzia reginae) plants are among those best suited to achieve such effects when planted together in groups or clusters to form dense planting schemes with diverse planting schemes.
Jungle gardens are also great spaces to use tropical plants such as bamboo (Fargesia rufa), Rodgersia elegans and Japanese Forest grass (Hakonechloa macra). All three feature stunning architectural leaves that complement dark-leaved plants in any planting scheme based on this theme.
Nandina domestica ‘Golden Glow’ can be grown either clumped at the base of bamboos or as part of a mixed planting with other taller plants, and needs moist conditions with adequate organic matter and regular watering to establish itself quickly.

Both thrive when planted among other shade-loving foliage plants such as Colocasia Pink China or Tetrapanax Rex; later of which will even offer tasty autumn berries! Besides providing ground cover benefits.
