Autumn Colour
Autumn is the most underrated season in the British garden — fiery foliage, late flowers, the soft slant of October light through a mature shrub.
This collection brings together the plants that earn their keep when the rest of the border is winding down: brilliant autumn foliage, late-flowering perennials, berried shrubs and the seasonal classics. Grown peat-free in Yorkshire.

Knowledge
Frequently asked
Which plants give the best autumn colour?
For foliage: Japanese maples (Acer), Cornus stems, and most deciduous shrubs turn through reds, oranges and yellows. For late flowers: asters, sedum and Japanese anemones keep going into November.
When should I plant autumn-interest plants?
Autumn itself is the ideal planting time — soil is warm, rain is reliable, and you get to see exactly what you're buying at its peak.
Do I need to do anything special in autumn?
Less than you'd think. Leave seed heads up, mulch the base of new plantings, and avoid heavy pruning until late winter.
