Plants for Autumn Colour

Autumn brings some of the most spectacular colours of any season - fiery reds, warm oranges and golden yellows dazzle against a backdrop of rich purple, copper and bronze tones. It's not just about trees though - climbing plants like Virginia Creeper and Boston Ivy have some of the best autumn colour in the garden and vibrant shrubs including Cornus, Cotinus, Acer and Euonymus bring borders back to life when the dark nights set in. Our growers have selected the brightest and best for autumn colour and year-round interest.
