The glorious reds of fall turn your garden into a blaze of fire and light. They make your garden glow and shimmer in the sun. They warm the landscape even on a dull and rainy day.

Red is nature’s last color fling before winter paints the landscape with a palette of gray. Red is the landscape’s way of saying, “Good night, I’m going to sleep until spring.”

There are many trees and small shrubs that will give your landscape the effect of a flickering fire. Japanese maples and burning bush top the list.

If your garden lacks fire pick a spot, pick a plant and start digging! Your fall landscape will blush with enthusiasm.

Our favourites: Dwarf Burning Bush; Euonymus Alatas ‘Compactus’ Japanese Maple; Acer Palmatum ‘Bloodgood’; Parthencissus Tricuspidata ‘Veitchii’; Boston Ivy.
