Perennial Fall Color

One Perennial that always stands out for it's fall color is the Geranium. Above is Johnson's Blue. The color is an outstanding brick red and it is still flowering above the foliage with bright blue-purple flowers.


Karmina (above) and Biokovo Geraniums also have the rich red fall color, but they have smaller leaves and mostly bloom in spring and early summer.



Purple Dome Aster is blooming very heavy right now, with nice purple clusters of Daisy-like flowers.


Red Shift Coreopsis is a new variety we have grown this year. It is a soft butter yellow with a deep red center (above) until the weather starts to cool off. The red gradually bleeds out until the flowers are completely red (below).
