Fall Foliage - create brilliant color in your landscape without the flowers
October 23rd, 2020 at 2:09 pm   starstarstarstarstar      

Summertime is over, temperatures have dropped and those colorful annuals are now brown. It's time to add some gorgeous fall hues to your property! 

Here are a few seasonal plants that provide vibrant, bold-colored leaves during the fall and early winter months:

 

1.  Oakleaf Hydrangea - In the summer, the leaves of the oakleaf hydrangea are bright green and are accompanied by tiny white flowers. Unlike most hydrangeas, the leaves change to a vibrant red color in the fall. This plant requires very little maintenance, produces quite a bit of foliage and looks beautiful year-round.

2.  Coral Bells - During the fall months, this plant withstands heavy rain (and muddy soil) along with cold temperatures. Coral bells range in color and are often found in shades of dark purple, orange, caramel or peach. Try adding to a planter or add as edging along sidewalks or pavers.

3.  Ninebark (Physocarpus) - If you're a fan of warm tones, the ninebark shrub is for you. Once flowering season is over, the leaves remain lush and change to a deep orange or burgundy color. Ninebark is a staple shrub in Michigan and is extremely draught tolerant.

4.  Ornamental Cabbage - Cabbage leaves come in a variety of colors like deep or dark purple, vibrant pink and even white. If you are a fan of super bold colors, try adding cabbage as a showcase plant in the front of your landscape. Cabbage survives well into November and December and requires minimal maintenance.
