Best shrubs and plants for autumn colour
Acer
Acers have bold autumn colour. This is acer palmatum, a real fiery red illustrated here in a woodland setting. Acer is an ideal garden tree as there are many compact varieties to choose from.
Cyclamen
I've just planted these, Cyclamen hederifolium. This is a fully hardy variety and suitable for that tricky area of the garden, dry shade. They will flower throughout the autumn.
These plants came from Crocus and made a colourful display.
