FALL COLOR

Can you believe winter is right around the corner? You'll find colorful fall plants now and others that will be coming into their prime as we move into winter.  Sweet Box (Sarcoccoca sp.) are budding up and will be in fragrant bloom in just a matter of weeks.  The fall blooming Sasanqua Camellias are in bud with some color starting to show.  We should be seeing a few blooms in the next week or two.  This makes a great screen when trained onto a trellis and it thrives in a light shade or part shade setting.  For those looking for an evergreen screen in a shady spot, this might just be the plant for you.

The red and yellow twig dogwoods are getting their winter color and a particularly spectacular specimen in the salmon-coral color Midwinter Fire dogwood.  It has a color like no other and it mixes well with lots of oranges, yellows and reds.

For those thinking just a bit farther ahead, the most fragrant shrub of the late winter, the winter daphne plants (Daphne odora) are starting to show swollen flower buds - just tempting us with thoughts of the perfume of this beauty.
