Hi GPODers!
We’re are back in Richmond, British Columbia today, to see Part 2 of Cherry Ong’s spectacular September garden tour. If you missed it yesterday, we already saw an incredible assortment of early fall interest in Part 1, but Cherry has even more gorgeous and unique plantings to show off in this second batch of photos.
Our largest container that was planted late spring and was soon taken down after this photo.
‘Profusion’ beautyberry (Callicarpa bodinieri var. giraldii ‘Profusion’, Zones 6–8) in the front yard returned with a vengeance after significant hard pruning last year.
Closeup of those iridescent juicy berries.
‘Moonfire’ Japanese maple (Acer palmatum ‘Moonfire’, Zones 5–9) perfectly skirted by ‘All Gold’ Japanese forest grass (Hakonechloa macra ‘All Gold’, Zones 4–9) in the front yard.
Closeup of Moonfire’s bronzy foliage.
Behind ‘Moonfire’ by the picket are the quiet gorgeous blooms of ‘Dark Beauty’ toad lily (Tricyrtis formosana ‘Dark Beauty’, Zones 4–9). Difficult to capture!
My favorite fuchsia growing in paired containers in the front yard and frequented by hummers: ‘Hawkshead’ fuchsia (Fuchsia magellanica ‘Hawkshead’, Zones 7–9).
Thank you so much for sharing these fabulous fall photos with us, Cherry! From the show-stopping plants you select for your space to the incredible combinations you create, there are always garden ideas worth stealing from your delightful designs.
