Rehukasveille

Rehukasveille is a term used in botany to describe plants that are primarily grown for their leaves. These plants are often cultivated for their ornamental value, with their foliage being the main attraction. The leaves can come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, colors, and textures, contributing to the aesthetic appeal of gardens, landscapes, and indoor spaces.

Many rehukasveille are herbaceous perennials, meaning they live for more than two years and die back to the ground in winter, regrowing from their roots in spring. However, some are annuals, completing their life cycle in a single season, or even woody shrubs. Their cultivation requirements vary greatly depending on the specific species and its native habitat, but generally, they need appropriate light, water, and soil conditions to thrive.

Examples of popular rehukasveille include hostas, known for their diverse leaf patterns and colors, ornamental grasses with their striking foliage, and ferns, prized for their delicate fronds. Coleus varieties are also widely grown for their vibrant, multi-colored leaves. These plants are often used as ground cover, in borders, as specimen plants, or in containers. Their leaves can also be used in floral arrangements and other decorative purposes. The focus on foliage means that flowering may be secondary or even insignificant in many rehukasveille.
