A FISTFUL
OF FALL
Bring the red, gold, copper,
and green hues o f autumn
indoors this month. Snip a
handful of branches and
blooms as we did fo r our
bouquet,
right:
‘Rose Glow’
Japanese barberry, red
castor bean pods, ‘Autumn
Joy’ sedum, ‘Sundown'
echinacea, and the green
seed heads of ‘Herbstonne'
rudbeckia.
Don't have these beauties
in your garden? Plant them this
spring for next fall’s garden.
