There's not a lot of blooms in the November garden but a few scattered here and there. We've not had a hard frost yet but a lot of rain and heavy winds. Some leaves remain on the trees but most are already stripped bare.

Aster 'Monte Cassino' is really beautiful and the photo doesn't do it justice. This is out next to the street and I see people stopping to admire it.

Not blooms but berries - Callicarpa 'Profusion' (Beautyberry)

Fatsia
|
 |
Fuchsia 'Hawkshead' still going strong
|
 |
This is the most stunning fuchsia and of course I don't have the name. A neighbor gave it to us and the label read 'Landscape Fuchsia'.

Pennisetum '24 Karat' (Fountain Grass)

I will wrap this up with a photo of the back garden along the shady pathway.

Your garden even now is a beautiful sight.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Lisa!
DeleteCallicarpa berries are just amazing in the winter garden. The first time I encountered them my jaw dropped. The shady path is fantastic in any season and aways a favorite.
ReplyDeleteI think your Mahonia may be soft caress...
So do I - I was captivated by one in our neighborhood when we moved here. They grew in the south too. You are right about the mahonia - I will add that info.
DeleteSo many lovely blooms, but I especially love that fountain grass. I see we share the 'Lady of Shallott,' a personal favorite of mine.
ReplyDeleteI love that fountain grass. It is a dwarf and has stayed below 1 ft. tall.
DeleteYour November garden is beautiful with remaining blooms and so much color. I enjoyed the stroll!
ReplyDeleteThat aster is indeed a show-stopper! I've always coveted Callicarpa. although there's at least once species that my Sunset guide says will grow here (USDA 10b/11a, Sunset 24), I've yet to find it offered locally.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blooms!
ReplyDeleteAnd I enjoyed the two wider views of your garden!
November is not very bloomy for me either. That NOID Fuchsia ! I can't even count the number of them I've had that sport the label ' Assorted Fuchsia'. All my Asters are over so I'm interested in 'Monte Cassino'. It reminds me of my Aster divericatus -I really want to pop in a couple more Asters .
ReplyDeleteI envy your collection of Roses specially' Golden celebration'. It would be my pleasure if you participate in my Gardening link up party here at http://jaipurgardening.blogspot.com/2021/11/garden-affair-lycoris-lily.html
ReplyDeleteWho needs blooms when you have such wonderful texture and color still.
