The snow is falling outside the windows of UpShoot, and we are deep in thoughts of fall foliage and colors. We cannot think of a better time to escape the frozen garden and get lost in fabulous design books like\u00a0Fine Foliage<\/a><\/em>\u00a0by\u00a0Karen Chapman<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Christina Salwitz<\/a>. Here are a few fall foliage garden tips to get lost with this winter day.<\/p>\n

We are super lucky to have\u00a0Karen Chapman<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Christina Salwitz<\/a>, the Seattle-based authors of\u00a0Fine Foliage<\/a>\u00a0grace us with some design ideas for autumn. We\u2019ve been in love with their book since we opened it earlier this year, and had them drum up some special\u00a0Sunset\u00a0creations. They\u2019ll offer up a design idea every Tuesday for the next three weeks.<\/em><\/p>\n

Do your summer containers look tired? Has your garden lost its \u2018wow\u2019 factor now that the main bloom season is coming to an end? There\u2019s no need to settle for less than fabulous if you focus on foliage. Fall is the perfect time to freshen up those pots by replacing some of the spent summer flowers with gorgeous leafy jewels.<\/p>\n

This week, our suggestion is to plant a\u00a0Fall Sunset:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Fall<\/a><\/p>\n

Why this works:<\/strong>\u00a0Warm sunset shades extend the late summer garden into fall. Tall grasses, a purple barberry, the rich mahogany bark of the paperbark maple and soft golden tones of a spirea create a picture frame for the bold orange crocosmia flowers. A backdrop of evergreens adds depth to the scene. This palette will continue to evolve as the knobby orange seedheads of the crocosmia will play off the autumnal pumpkin shades of the maple foliage.<\/p>\n

Key Players:<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>Paperbark maple (Acer griseum<\/i>) \u2013 the chestnut brown peeling bark is the hallmark of this maple but the foliage is equally noteworthy, the mid-green leaves turning to shades of gold and deep orange in fall.\u00a0 To 18\u2019 tall x 15\u2019 wide,\u00a0Sunset\u00a0<\/em>Climate Zones 2\u20139, 14\u201321<\/p>\n

Feather reed grass (Calamagrostis\u00a0<\/i>x\u00a0acutiflora<\/i>\u00a0\u2018Karl Foerster\u2019) \u2013 a wonderful vertical element in the landscape, lasting well into the winter. The tan flowering stems rise to 5-6\u2019 tall with the basal foliage spreading to 2\u2019.\u00a0Sunset\u00a0<\/em>Climate Zones 2B\u201324<\/p>\n

\u2018Rose Glow\u2019 barberry (Berberis thunbergii<\/i>\u00a0\u2018Rose Glow\u2019) \u2013 an arching shrub with purple, pink and white splashed leaves along its thorny stems. The variegation is most noticeable on young foliage so pruning in spring is a good idea. 4\u2019 tall and wide.\u00a0Sunset\u00a0<\/em>Climate Zones A3, 2B\u201324\u00a0(If this is invasive in your area substitute a purple leaved weigela, fringe flower or ninebark)<\/i><\/p>\n

Double Play\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0Big Bang spirea (Spiraea<\/i>\u00a0\u2019Tracy\u2019\u00a0) \u2013coppery new growth above the more mature golden leaves makes this a winner. Large flat heads of pink flowers throughout the season will satisfy the flower lover. A 3\u2019 mound hardy in\u00a0Sunset\u00a0<\/em>Climate Zones A2, A3, 2\u201310, 14\u201321.
