🍂The Colors in the Autumn Gardens🍂

Ken and Lisa Lain, the Top 10 Gardeners here, Let’s talk about the stunning fall foliage that's gracing our gardens. From vibrant reds and oranges to subtle yellows, there's a color for everyone to enjoy. One of my favorite fall shrubs is the Heuchera. They come in a variety of colors, like Ruby Tuesday, Siren Song Orange, and Northern Exposure Amber, providing a beautiful mix of hues. Heucheras are also versatile, thriving in containers or as accents in the garden.

 

Another great option is Nandina, also known as Heavenly Bamboo. Its fiery red foliage in the fall is a sight to behold. Popular varieties include Tuscan Flame, Plum Passion, and Gulf Stream.

 

For a more unusual choice, consider the Barberry. The Golden Ruby variety has striking burgundy leaves with yellow edges, while Lava Nuggets offer a deep burgundy hue.

 

And let's not forget the native Sumacs, like the Trilobata and Tiger Eye, which add splashes of orange and yellow to the landscape.

 

If you're looking for a larger statement, consider the Amur Maple. Its vibrant fall colors and graceful form make it a standout.

 

Finally, don't overlook the beauty of evergreens like Hollies. Varieties like Gold Coast and Sky Pencil offer stunning foliage and berries to brighten your winter garden.

 

Remember, fall is the perfect time to plant evergreens, as they'll have time to establish their roots before the harsh winter weather arrives. With a little care and attention, your garden will be a vibrant showcase of color all season long.

 

So get out there and enjoy the autumn foliage!
