We ’re in Westminster , Maryland , today to see how drop is treat Mary Spencer ’s garden . Last prison term we visited Mary it was in the fountain ( Spring in Mary ’s Garden ) , so it is fun to see how different the garden calculate at the other goal of the growing time of year .
A beautiful combination offall leaf colorsfrom thetrees and shrubscontrasts with flowers from impatiens ( Impatienswalleriana , Zones 10–11 or as an annual ) that have n’t been hit by hoar yet and so are still flowering away .
A smirch to sit and douse up the autumnal beauty
It pays to slow down and front at the details . In the scope is a cloud of unbelievable fall leaf , and in the foreground a tree trunk looks as if it has a pair of heart .
Afall planterfeatures rudbeckia ( Rudbeckiahirta , Zones 3–7 , but short live and usually grown as an yearly ) , decorative pepper ( Capsicumannuum , Zones 9–11 or as an yearly ) , and ornamental cabbage ( Brassicaoleracea , Zones 6–10 , biennial ) .
A pumpkin , some pink mums ( Chrysanthemumhybrid , hardiness varies by cultivar ) , and a purple flamingo bring pop of color to the shift leaf ofperennials , including Japanese forest grass ( Hakonechloamacra , Zones 5–9 ) .
Beautyberry(Callicarpajaponica , Zones 6–8 ) has acute regal berries that look keen over a farseeing reaching of tardy summertime into winter , but they may never await good than when the foliage is turning color , making a majestic - and - lily-livered display that is just beautiful .
perennial normally do n’t have quite the vivid crepuscle color of trees and shrub , but they still make a bed of gold along the ground , with promise of returning in the saltation with bright new leaf and efflorescence .
Pots of blossom , pumpkins , and aJapanese maple(Acerpalmatum , Zones 5–9 ) make a seasonally perfect exhibit in front of the garage .
