Enjoy this Fall garden tour of one of the side beds in our front yard! In mid-Fall, this bed features color and texture from drying Little Lime Hydrangeas, Piglet grasses, perennials plus several evergreens in varying shades of green.

Fall garden tour featuring color and texture

This time of year, when many perennials have finished up for the season, there is still so much color and texture to be found in the Fall garden, like the outstanding Blue Star Juniper above.

I’ve written about this before in my article How to Get Brilliant Fall Color in the Garden, which has many examples to inspire your own garden ideas.

I recorded another Fall garden video tour for you, so you can see exactly what my garden looks like now, during a time where not much is blooming.

In the image below, taken from the video, you can see the Knockout Roses are still going strong, as well as the Little Lime Hydrangeas.

But what also begins to stand out are the various other shrubs and perennials that are either ending the season or just beginning to shine.

Here’s some of what you’ll see in the Fall garden tour:

Japanese Helleri

Kramer’s Red Winter Heath

(with flower buds getting ready to bloom all Winter long!)

Mugo Pines

Gold Cone Juniper

Although it’s named for the vibrant Spring color . . .

. . . Gold Cone Juniper takes on more of a blue-green color in the Summer, Fall and Winter. (And it looks almost variegated, doesn’t it?)

Little Lime Hydrangeas

The Little Lime Hydrangeas are so pretty and mix well with evergreens, including White Heather . . .

Remember to enjoy your own gardens, even if things aren’t blooming right now.

There’s always color and texture to appreciate!

Pet Scribbles is where I share my craft tutorials, home and garden projects, and occasional stories about my cats. I can never have enough pretty craft paints to work with, and I love to make things look time-worn with distressing and aging. Gardening is my therapy!
