4 Keys to Fall Garden Splendor

CONTRAST

Combine light colored leaves with dark colored leaves; coarse textures with fine, lacy textures for a dramatic and interesting look.

USE GRASSES

Use ornamental grasses like Miscanthus (Maiden Grass), Pennisetum (Fountain Grass), or Calamagrostis (Feather Reed Grass) to add texture, movement, height (in some cases), and color to your fall landscape.

FALL COLOR

Choose shrubs like Viburnum, Burning Bush, Dogwoods, and Maples to add some red color to your fall landscape.

EVERGREENS

Evergreen trees such as Spruce or Pine and evergreen shrubs such as Spruce, Pine, Juniper, and Euonymus act as a backdrop to summer flowers and as an anchor in a winter landscape.
