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'
Doesn't it feel great to be able to get outside and accomplish something in the garden!?! Your new courtyard area is really coming together. I can't wait to see all the plants you put around and in it. We are to have some decent days this week too. I hope the weather holds so we can be outside.
ReplyDeleteIt was beautiful yesterday ! You even got gravel down . I got most of the back garden tidied up , but still so much to do.
