Bring On The Fall Color
Gingko 'Troll' The Fall colors seem to be coming sooner this year. The Stewartia was the first tree I noticed, and it changed weeks ago. Others, such as many of the Japanese maples and dogwoods, haven't changed yet. Stewartia pseudocamellia Bluestar ( Amsonia hubrechtii) is the most colorful fall perennial. I would say the most colorful shrub is the Bloodtwig Dogwood ( Cornus 'Midwinter Fire'). It began to change color weeks ago and it has really grown this year. The best year so far for Fothergilla 'Jane Platt'. This has been an extreme slow grower but it is finally filling in. A colorful grouping with the amazing Miscanthus 'Little Miss', Joe Pye Weed and Sourwood ( Oxydendrum arboretum ). Miscanthus 'Little Miss' is the most colorful ornamental grass in the garden. Black Tupelo ( Nyssa sylvatica ) changes color from the inside out. Wiegela 'Wings of Fire' Looking down the garden pathway with Cornus 'Midwinter Fire'

ReplyDeleteOh yes! It's looking wonderfully fiery! Good shot.
ReplyDeleteThose are fabulous colors! I assume it goes all green in the summertime?
ReplyDeleteThis is a yummy color. It looks so warm.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Good buy!
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely specimen and I was impressed to learn that it's also lemon-scented. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that it would find my area of SoCal hospitable.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blend of colors that reminds me of an Aloe. There are some with the foliage that shade of green.
ReplyDeleteWilma got some nice things named after her.
