Gardens (gardeners, too) can look a little tired this time of year!
What plants to you have in your yards blooming now?
Here are a few around here.
This is a golden-foliaged blue mist shrub.
The cultivar name escapes me at this moment.
Maybe someone can help provide it?
At any rate, it was keeping the bees happy yesterday.
It really looks good - lots of blooms on foliage which still looks fresh.
Always a bonus at this time of year.
Rose of Sharon is still cranking out blooms, of course.
This is a shrub called keiskiea japonica. Reliable bloomer for fall.
It's covered with blooms - hard to get a picture which conveys it.
Edited to add: it's a woodland shrub, not full sun.

My Heptacodium Miconioides is blooming now. About 1/2 the time we do get frost before it blooms. Nice tree.
hi, your 1st pic could be Autumn Blue Spiraea 'Sunshine Blue' (Caryopteris incana) or caryopteris 'Worcester Gold'. it's hard to tell what kind of foliage u have.
i have caryopteris 'Snow Fairy' - pic attached - which i adore !!! and 'Summer Sorbet's - as do all the critters too !!
how does the saying go - anyone can have a beautiful garden in the spring but a true gardener has 1 in the fall !!!
CHEERS

have all of those caryopteris here plus dark knight - all planted together - you can hear them, or should i say the bees, from several yards away. great fall blooming shrub.
