Fall Beauties From Nancy

Berries, leaves, and blooms

Today Nancy Mellen is sharing some photos of fall foliage , berry , and other end - of - the - season beauties from her garden in Hingham , Massachusetts . She grows primarilynative perennialsand shrubs for thebirds , insects , and critter to enjoyin the garden around her age-old menage .

Hepticodiummiconioides(seven sons efflorescence , Zones 5–9 ) . The white peak have fallen off , but the pink bract still hang in intoNovember .

Here ’s a late - blooming hardy chrysanthemum ( Chrysanthemumhybrid , hardiness varies by cultivar ) providing a piffling food for some hungrypollinators .

Maroon leaves onViburnumplicataf.tomentosum‘Shasta ’ ( Zones 5–8 ) join with the last few chickenhearted leaves ofCerciscanadensis‘Forest Pansy ’ ( Zones 5–9 ) .

Calycanthusfloridus(sweetshrub , Zones 4–9 ) is experience for the fragrance of its flowers , but it has a pretty wonderful downfall color as well .

ThisIlexverticillata(winterberry holly , Zones 3–9 ) has a few berries left . How longwinterberryfruits last on the plant usually depends on thelocal birdsand how quickly they gobble them up .

Viburnumtrilobum‘Wentworth ’ ( highbush cranberry , Zones 2–7 ) bring on beautiful whiteflowers in the spring , followed by showy red Chuck Berry . The Chuck Berry have all been eaten by the birds , but thefall colorof the foliage looks great .

Acergriseum(paperbark maple , Zones 4–8 ) gets its name from its beautiful bark , but the lovely fall color may be even more spectacular .

Although thisFothergillamajor‘Mt . Airy ’ ( ‘ Mt. Airy ’ big fothergilla , Zones 4–8 ) is beyond elevation colour , it ’s still pretty . It will also have reasonably snowy flowers in the spring .

The bright purple berries ofCallicarpadichotoma‘Early Amethyst ’ ( ‘ Early Amethyst’beautyberry , Zones 5–8 ) make a outstanding combination with the chickenhearted declivity foliage . The berries will persist long after the leaves have fallen , provided the razzing do n’t get too hungry .
