I love the shifting quality of autumnal light and the enchanting effect it brings to the garden as it readies for its winter sleep.
Here, the bold, backlit foliage of oakleaf hydrangea radiates warm copper tones that are echoed in the mahogany bark of the paperbark maple. Molinia caerulea 'Variegata' and Miscanthus 'Adagio', displaying tawny tones, the calling card of dormant grasses, are aglow lit from behind. Though clearly a standout in fall, this garden vignette has been performing beautifully all summer long, thanks to a palette of plants selected for their staying power and their ability to deliver easy-care, multi-season appeal over the long haul.
P. S. I'd love to know a bit more about you! I'm gearing up to make some major improvements to the site in the coming weeks and knowing more about users like you is invaluable in shaping our direction and priorities. Thanks in advance!
