Texture of plants is divided into three categories: fine, medium and course. Textural contrast can be even more effective than color contrast. Plants that are described as fine in texture are those that are quite soft and easy on the eye, often having many delicate flowers such as lobelia or baby's breath. Medium-textured plants tend to have some distinct shape such as geraniums or flowering tobacco. Coarse plants are those with very distinct textures such as ornamental cabbages or large begonias.
