Fall Color Garden Ohio Japanese Maples Picea


Photobucket
The Acer palumatum Fireglow has to be one of the best Japanese Maples to own. Does great in full sun here in zone 6 and even though everything is cut back except for the Mums and the Hosta, this garden still looks good with the JM and the Pinus s. Glauca Nana and Mums, even though the Hosta are pretty much gone for the year. Unfortunately we are technically still in drought and things just did not give much Fall color this year. I kept waiting for it to but it started coloring and went straight to leaf drop before things finished coloring.

The burgundy Mums seem outstanding in color this year. Maybe it's just the fact that the summer was so bland with everything burned up.

My beautiful Paperbark Maple, Acer griseum Paperbark. It started turning red and unfortunately the leaves started dropping before it was finished. I just love the bark on this tree.

My small Picea pungens Glauca Globosa with the pink Mum. I will probably add another pink Mum here. Since there are a few small Heuchera here I'm not sure until Spring if I'll have room and decided to wait until then to make a decision on it.

The Picea abies Reflexa with the Viburnum Autumn Jazz doing a little Fall color. Thanks for stopping by. Next month is a post about my Heuchera.
