The Garden in Transition to Fall

Enjoying the changing seasons

Today we ’re shoot the breeze with Kathy Witt in Nashville .

I plant , therefore , I snap ! It helps me come up joyfulness in the little thing . Septemberis a month of transitional fond and coolheaded nights here in Nashville . So before the warm colors of autumn emerge , let ’s fete the flush and industrial plant in conversion .

This fading beauty is string up on nestled in my paries planter with big , heart - shape leave of pinkish , white , and green caladiums(Caladiumhybrid , Zones 10–11 or as annual or tender bulb ) . A tender bed of mosses will keep up caladium bulbs until spring , but a cool 47 ° F break of the day ushers in the last days at the garden gala for this forked impatiens ‘ Apple Blossom’(Impatienswalleriana‘Apple Blossom ’ , yearly ) .

crowing hearts — caladiums are kindness by the bucketful , thriving anywhere summer are warm .

I love planting caladiums , growing them alongsidetaro(Colocasia esculenta , Zones 8–10 or as an annual or cutter bulb ) and coleus , and then allowing them to produce huge into the later summertime and early spill .

More flame nettle with dark leaves contrast to the bright caladiums .

The last of the cosmos(Cosmosbipinnatus , one-year ) flower as fall get in .

The blossoms of these sunstruck coneflowers(Echinaceapurpurea , Zones 3–8 ) are still beautiful even as they fade and begin producing come , which is beloved by goldfinches and other doll .
