Fall color II

Two more great choices for early to mid-fall color…

Salvia ‘Blue Angel’: I love, love, love this plant. Very few flowers can truly be called “blue” and this is one of them. No hint of green or purple here. Just a sweet, deep blue.

Salvia 'Blue Angel' is a precious addition to the garden. Plant it near red or gold flowers to really make the blue pop.

Helianthus: A sunflower relative, these flowers can be a multitude of reds, oranges and golds. Keep cutting the spent blooms to prolong the display. Wonderful fall color if you like the warmer tones.

    GARDEN BLOG
    By Tasha Johnson
    Welcome to the Garden Blog -- a place to learn about what fellow Whatcom County gardeners are doing in their home plots. This is also a forum for you to recommend tried-and-true vegetable varieties, share your pest-control strategies and plant-husbandry tips, and get local answers to your specific garden questions.
    Tasha received her B.A. from Mount Holyoke College in 2003. She has since worked full-time for newspapers as a features editor, page designer, garden columnist and copy editor. She left journalism last year to pursue a graduate degree in biology at Western Washington University. Her research is focused on the effects of invasive Himalayan blackberry on pollinators.
    In addition to hundreds of research plants at the university greenhouse, Tasha tends a vegetable plot and several flower beds at her home in the Columbia Neighborhood.
