Spruce Up for Fall - Here are 7 Must Have-Plants for Your October Garden
As the temperatures drop and the leaves begin to change, it's the perfect time to spruce up your yard and garden with stunning fall plants. Our top picks for your October garden promise to add texture, color, and drama to your landscape.
Start with the Autumn Brilliance Fern, a hardy evergreen fern that brings lush, feathery fronds, adding a touches of gold, green and burnt red to shaded and partially shaded areas. To create a striking focal point, consider planting a Ginkgo Tree. Its fan-shaped leaves turn brilliant yellow, offering a breathtaking display against the autumn sky.
For movement and softness, include Mexican Feather Grass. Its wispy, delicate blades sway gracefully in the breeze, creating a dynamic visual element. Add a splash of vibrant color with three standout varieties of Heuchera: Forever Red, Caramel, and Midnight Rose. These heuchera varieties grow in sunny to partially shaded areas providing rich foliage in shades of red, golden caramel, and deep burgundy, perfect for brightening up your fall landscape.
Finally, for a touch of dramatic contrast, plant Black Mondo Grass. Its dark, almost black leaves create the perfect backdrop for showcasing the vibrant colors of your other fall plants in sun to partly sunny spaces.
With these must-have selections, your October garden will not only embrace the season but also leave a lasting impression.
