Adding Fall Interest to Your Landscape

Story Highlights

With cooler temperatures, vibrant colored foliage, and wonderful scents in the air, Fall is an absolutely remarkable time to be outdoors. Whether planning a patio, deck, or poolscape, you'll want to include plants in the landscape that will enhance your outdoor living during the Fall season.

In this article, we provide a comprehensive list of trees, shrubs, and perennials that will help you create fall interest for the landscape of your outdoor living space.

Starting Tall with...

Trees

When thinking of fall foliage, most people immediately envision our native forests in stunning shades of red, yellow, and orange. Along with the many great natives found in forests, there are also numerous other garden trees that provide stunning fall foliage.

Stepping Down to

Shrubs

Where trees mostly offer fall foliage interest, shrubs offer the potential for colorful foliage and flowers in the Fall. Be sure to pair these Fall-interest shrubs with evergreens to increase their impact.
