Fabulous Fall Color
Plants that put on a spectacular autumn show with vibrant foliage, seed heads, or late-season blooms. Most people associate Fall color with trees and shrubs, but many perennial grasses and forbs light up their chemical pigments as the days shorten and they begin to go dormant. Extend the season with plants that don't fade quietly—they go out in a blaze of glory.
