There is a variety of plants in bloom or showing berries this week at the Arboretum. You may have heard "Fall is For Planting". Believe it! Perhaps you want to include some of these plants in your garden for Fall interest.
Helianthus angustifolius (Swamp Sunflower) is shown in the first pot on the top left below. It is one easy to grow, fall flowering plant that makes a statement and does not mind the deluge of rain we have had. It is very attractive to butterflies, birds, and our native bees.
