Detailed explanation-1: -The term “texture” in regards to garden design does not refer to how a plant feels but rather the overall visual texture of the plant-the size and shape of the plant and its foliage. Common words to describe the texture of a plant include bold, soft (or fine) and coarse.
Detailed explanation-2: -Six common shapes for simple leaves (usually Linear, Lanceolate, Oblong, Rhomboid, Elliptic, and Cordate) are shown along with two common, compound leaves (Pinnate and Palmate).
Detailed explanation-3: -As the leaf grows away from the meristem, its shape is determined by growth in three axes, proximal-distal, abaxial-adaxial and medial-lateral. HD-ZIPIII, KANADI and the small RNA pathway play a significant role in the latter two axes. KNOX proteins play a role in the proximal-distal axis.
