Another grouping is Oreganos in various colorations; I love how tough they are, these are on a very dry ramp that gets almost no summer water-
My contribution to silvery is these small leaves of a Hebe pinguifolia 'Pagei'-
Another grouping of silver is this Hebe pimeleoides 'Quicksilver' with Santolina, accented by a Sarracenia leucophylla x rubra-
For some cool green with magenta highlights, a Cut-leaf Japanese Maple draped by a Schisandra vine-
Another combination of variegated Elaeagnus ebbingei and the burgundy tones of Berberis thunbergii-
And here with other plants added, a Nandina showing some fall color, a Bird's Nest Spruce, a weeping Mulberry, and some variegated Phalaris, which can overtake the weeds in a difficult area.
Enjoy your autumnal foliage, Hannah
Great Pics and plants, Hannah! The Pacific Northwest is about the only place left on my list to visit in the USA, as San Fransisco is as close as I have been. I`ve seen some blogs from there , though, and was amazed that parts of it are in the same growing zone as Central Texas!
ReplyDeleteWe may both be in zones 7-8 but the growing conditions are very different, especially with our cool dry summers. We tend to have acid soils, too.
