Autumn colors

Viburnum nudum 'Winterthur'

Winterberry, Ilex verticillata, an orange berried variety.

More winterberry and coral honeysuckle, Lonicera sempervirens. This native, non-invasive honeysuckle gets red berries too. It scrambles up over the winterberry shrubs and makes a nice tangle.

Red twig dogwoods, Cornus sericea 'Cardinal'. This variety gets cherry red stems in the winter. I had originally planted it in the front yard under a big pine tree. It never did well there so I gave some to a neighbor and planted some in the mixed hedge in back. We've both found it gets much brighter color in full sun.

Fothergilla, two varieties, one the species and one Mt. Airy. Can't beat this for brilliant color.
