I think every yard needs a shade tree or two, preferably with some feature that makes you love them. Autumn color is an extremely valuable asset in landscape trees, and this is where the Red maple shines . Its color stands out in the fall and varieties have been chosen to accentuate the quality of color. It is also a fast growing tree, which puts it to the forefront of what many homeowners desire.
The role of silver leaf plants is varied, but always welcome in the garden design. In borders or partnered with shrubs, as ground covers, in contrast or in a harmonizing role, silver foliaged plants should be used more often. Ideas for using them in your landscape.
Of professional garden designers, some love them and some hate them, but most of us want at least a few of these accents in our garden.
My vote is for a number of these visually captivating plants to find a place in the garden.
There is a poetry to this season, as it bursts from burgeoning summer to the minimalist editing of winter.
