Autumn Colours

About

Plants for Spectacular Autumn Colour As summer fades, the right planting sets the garden alight. Our autumn-colour range brings together the very best trees, shrubs and perennials for fiery seasonal foliage and berries - from the unbeatable reds of Japanese maples (Acer) and the star-shaped leaves of liquidambar, to the glowing oranges of amelanchier and the jewel-like berries of pyracantha and cotoneaster. Planting for autumn extends your garden's season of interest by months and gives wildlife a vital late-year food source. Autumn is also the perfect time to plant, while the soil is still warm. Every plant is grown and hand-picked on our Cheshire nursery - explore our Japanese maples or browse our trees for more autumn stars. {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"Which plants give the best autumn colour?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Japanese maples (Acer) are unbeatable for fiery reds, liquidambar for its star-shaped leaves, and amelanchier for glowing orange - while pyracantha and cotoneaster add jewel-like autumn berries."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"When is the best time to plant for autumn colour?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Autumn itself is an ideal planting time, while the soil is still warm, helping plants establish before winter.
