These are excellent native perennials to add variety in the late summer garden and their colors make a good segue into fall.
So much has been written about color in the garden, but in recent years there has been a trend to include touches of black.
Cool fall days give gardeners the incentive to divide perennials, so that new starts can be established before the winter.
I was given my Callicarpa as a gift, and it is certainly a gift that keeps on giving.
