Gardening in mostly deep shade in Zone 6. My passion is adding more native plants to my landscape & clearing out the foreign invasives.

No leaves yet, but the stems are fat and red, livelier than any of the "Merlot" sweetspires planted in drier spots... #swamptastic #midwesternnative

I discarded the idea of buying one of these back in spring because they were so pricey, but when I saw its fall color at the nursery this weekend I abandoned all pretense of frugality. The photo does not begin to capture it. Orangey-tomatoey-gold spattered with true blood red. #swamptastic #midwesternnative #greatcolor
