A few standouts in the November garden right now.
Pennisetum (Fountain Grass) ‘Foxtrot’
This one came out of nowhere this year and kicked some serious garden booty. It bloomed beautifully and quickly reached four to five feet in height after only a year or two in my garden.
I’ll put together a post dedicated to this grass in the upcoming weeks with photos depicting it in all seasons.
Right now, it is shining with fall color.
Molinia (Moor Grass) ‘Sky Racer’
Another killer grass that keeps making a statement throughout the fall season.
It’s a great specimen grass and unintentionally, a great see-through grass from up higher on my deck.
Panicum (Switch Grass) ‘Cloud Nine’
I believe this Switch Grass is ‘Cloud Nine’ (please call me out if I’m wrong, I have no shame) and my lord does it stand out.
It’s currently at six feet high if not taller and has remained upright without fail.
You can’t help but notice it no matter where you are in my front yard.
Miscanthus purpurascens (Flame Grass)
Another day, another pic of the Flame Grass.
I have no fear of featuring it in a foundation planting.
Barberry
I’m not sure of the cultivar of this yellow barberry but is it ever eye popping in color right now.
I swear I didn’t touch up this photo below.
Amsonia hubrichtii
Still kicking butt and taking names this far into the fall. Even if only a small portion of it is visible from a certain angle.
I will never stop adding these to my garden each and every year.
Viburnum carlesii ‘Aurora’
Underrated autumn color and the leaves remain on this shrub longer than any other shrub in my garden.
