A Plateau of Color..... All Things of Autumn by Joyce Kebless Sassafras Hutch Herb Farm...... Part 1

Fall can be seen as a second Spring or Indian Summer.....Temperatures are cooler and rain more frequent, it brings a resurgence of life and added blooms to our gardens. It sets the stage for a splendid 3rd act of a favorite play.

The leaves of trees, plants, and shrubs bring a frenzied crescendo of colors. It can turn our garden into a science of bright Fiery Reds, Oranges, Yellow and Gold.

Plants that are showy in the fall you can now build a new plateau of lots of supporting plants, accented with color, color and more color.

Do you have a focal point using a special shrub or colorful tree?

Consider a Black Gum Tree for a early blaze of Orange, Yellow, and Maroon. zone 3-9. needs full sun.

Don't forget the striking fall color of flowering Dogwood with its Gold and Red leaves along with the Crimson Foliage.

My favorite Tree ---Japanese Maple, one called Bloodgood. The volume of its Red leaves turns up the bright Scarlet hue. It also makes a nice small lawn tree. zones 5-8

Sassafras our native tree and name of our farm with 3 different leaves on one plant. Has brilliant shades of Orange and Scarlet.

The Sugar Maples are one of the best for Autumn color. Lots of color from Yellow, Orange and Scarlet. Enjoy the colors... watch for part 2 of this article!!!!!!!!!
