Brilliant Fall Color

Leaves and berries of the autumn season

Today we ’re travel to the Pacific Northwest , where Gail Barnard garden just south of Portland , Oregon . And we ’re go to step back in time to when , Gail enjoin , she enjoyed an peculiarly smart as a whip fall after a prospicient , hot , dry summer . In addition to the common brightly colored trees , Gail ’s garden gets fall interest from berries and perennial as well .

A ravisher Chuck Berry ( Callicarpadichotoma , Zones 5–8 ) is load down with berries . In a season that is dominate by reds , oranges , and yellowness , beauty berries are a nice contrast with their brilliant purple . I have sex how in this planting , the purple of the berries is echoed by the purple heuchera growing below it .

We often think of fall colouration as being the domain of tree and bush , but some perennial put on a pretty good show too . Here Nipponese forest grass ( Hakonechloamacra , Zones 5–9 ) take on a beautiful golden chromaticity , perfectly complement the gold chair in the background .

Paperbark maple ( Acer griseum , Zones 4–8 ) has big barque all year , but in the fall the impassioned foliage look at it to a whole unexampled level .

In this foresighted view of the garden , Nipponese timberland grass makes shining puddles of Au , which expect all the brighter for the green foliage around it .

The paperbark maple looks even brighter as it catches the sunlight behind it . It is worth noticing the sun ’s position in your garden in the downfall so that you could plant something brilliant like this and transform dusk coloration into nature ’s stain - chicken feed windows .

Another opinion of the Sunday - inebriate declination garden .

In autumn , as in the rest of the year , set two contrast colouring together can make each of them glitter all the brighter . Here a blood - scarlet Japanese maple ( Acerpalmatum , Zones 6–8 ) enhance the bright jaundiced foliage around it .
