Connie lives on the street behind me. So when she says, “You have to come look at the colors in my yard! It’s turning out just the way I’d hoped!” it’s nothing to pop over with my camera to take a few snapshots. There are many different types of planting schemes: some prefer a big spring show, others focus on lush summer annuals and perennials. To plan for fall color is yet another approach with rewards amply evident when we have a prolonged autumn. Here are some of the colors with associated plants in case you too would like to try something similar in your own yard. (click to enlarge)
