I can feel it in the air! Fall is almost here and with the cooling temperatures and brilliant colors of autumn come new ambitions and goals in the garden. Sure, the outdoor gardening and work tends to taper off as the temperatures fall, but autumn is one of the best times to do the projects that you don’t have time for in the spring and your diligence now will pay off ten fold when the next spring rolls around.

Fall has always meant excitement and change to me and I can’t wait to share what we have to offer this fall for your landscape. If you are looking for a tried and true staple in the landscape then you don’t want to miss out on a Crape Myrtle. Beyond the attractive blooms, Crape Myrtle have so much to offer. In my article, “Beyond a Single Season”, pages 6-7, discover the benefits of Crape Myrtle and how its beauty and versatility make it a show stopper in every season.

The cooler temperatures and vivid colors are like a breath of fresh air! I’ve waded through the heat of summer and am thrilled to be back to the warm days and crisp nights of autumn. For a hot new twist on a fall favorite, you’ve gotta give Cool Wave Pansies a try. First introduced in 2012, Cool Wave Pansies are even more prolific with blossom-covered stems that have a spreading or trailing habit. Their brilliant, bold colors complement container plantings or spread in the landscape to create a beautiful show of color. To learn more about this gardener’s dream for fall plantings turn to page 12.

In all of my years of searching for the perfect plant, I have never been able to locate a money tree. However, a tree that is planted close to your home can help reduce energy bills by as much as 30%. That’s almost as good as growing money on trees! Learn more about how planting a tree can help save energy and money on pages 9-10.

I hope you enjoy all that the autumn season in the Northwest has to offer! Savor all of the sights and sounds of the season and join us at Al’s for fun events and complimentary classes. Beyond the beautiful weather, remember to finish up your garden chores before you head inside to hibernate for the winter! As always, I hope that this issue of Bloom magazine brings you inspiration and fresh ideas for your gardening endeavors!

Happy Gardening,

Benefit #1: Blooms, and lots of them at a time of year when most plants are done with their flower show. We’re talking late August to frost. Most Crape Myrtles are covered in clusters of bright, puffy blooms. Entire multi-stemmed trees and shrubs covered in knock-your-socks off color, like one last glorious gasp of summer.

Benefit #2: Long Bloom Season. Crape Myrtles have an incredibly long bloom season. These aren’t wimpy blooms that shrivel and fade after a day, a week, or even a month. Depending on what type of summer we’re having here in the Northwest, Crape Myrtle blooms can last up to 60 days. You’ll see nearly two months of colorful clusters of blooms.

Benefit #3: Striking foliage. The leaves of Crape Myrtles are shiny, glossy and striking in summer even before the fall color show begins. Crape Myrtle ‘Dynamite’ has leaves that are a deep, dark mahogany color with a tinge of green. The richly-colored leaves accent the plant’s bright red blooms. Crape Myrtle ‘Tuscarora’ has leaves that are bright green, with a slight edge of pink. You won’t be bored with the leaf color of a Crape Myrtle in summer.

Single Season

Beyond a

Do you expect a lot from plants? Do they have to do more than just look good for one season? Do you ask yourself: Can I eat it? Does it bloom? What will it look

like in the winter?

If you’re like me, and you look for plants with benefits beyond a single season, a Crape Myrtle is for you.

Below are some reasons to consider a Crape Myrtle for your yard or garden this fall:

‘Zuni’

‘Purple Magic’

‘Arapaho’

by Jack Bigej

Benefit #4: Brilliant Fall Color. The leaves of the Crape Myrtles turn incredible colors in the fall. The transition of the weather signals Crape Myrtles to erupt in colors of deep maroon to bright orange, or bronzy red. Fall color varies by variety, but the lance shaped leaves put on a colorful show before they drop for winter.

Benefit #5: Beautiful Bark. In the winter, Crape Myrtles drop their leaves revealing their beautiful bark. As the older bark peels off, new bark is exposed. This creates the colors of cinnamon, rich brown, even dark grey and shades of green on the trunks and branches of the Crape Myrtle. A Crape Myrtle almost becomes a living sculpture in the winter.

Benefit #6: One size does not fit all. Crape Myrtles can be trees, multi-stemmed trees, or shrubs. There is a Crape Myrtle variety for every situation. Multi-stemmed small trees or shrubs look great planted in the landscape, offering a focal point with their graceful shape and structure. ‘Purple Magic’ Crape Myrtle is a smaller variety, which grows 5-8 feet tall and has beautiful deep purple flowers. If you’re looking for something taller ‘Dynamite’ Crape Myrtles grow 15-20 feet tall and make a wonderful larger accent.

Benefit #7: Easy Care. Crape Myrtles are easy to care for. There are relatively few pests or diseases that bother Crape Myrtles. After the first year, Crape Myrtles require less water than many other types of trees in the landscape. Plant your Crape Myrtle in the full sun, with good drainage and feed it with Al’s Slow Release fertilizer in May and you’ll have a beautiful, happy Crape Myrtle.

Why settle for a plant with benefits in only a single season? Crape Myrtles have so much more to offer!

Want to save money?Plant a tree!A properly situated tree around your home can help reduce energy bills by as much as 30%. Trees can not only provide cooling shade in the warm summer months, but can also provide protection in the cool months as they buffer against winter winds. When selecting a tree there are two types to consider: deciduous and evergreen. Each has it own special niche for energy savings.

Deciduous trees are those that lose their leaves every fall, and are considered the classic shade trees. Mature trees can block between 60 and 90% of sunlight. When planting a new tree, proper placement is key; the ideal spot being on the west side of the home. This provides shade from about 3 to 7 pm, during the warmest part of the summer day, and also during the typical peak energy use. Some ideal shade trees include Red Maples, such as October Glory and Sun Valley.

The next best scenario would be to plant to shade east facing walls and windows, providing relief in the morning from about 7 to 11 am. Smaller deciduous trees or shrubs, such as Smoke Tree (Cotinus) and Flowering Crabapples, could be planted to the

northwest or northeast of buildings to provide some late afternoon or early morning shade.

Avoid planting shade trees on the south side of your home. While it’s true that the leaves will fall in the winter time, the limbs and branches can still reduce the amount of sunlight 30-40% or more. With the low angle of the sun during that time of year, the amount of natural heating you would get from the mid-day sun is significantly reduced, making your home cooler than need be.

Proper planting distance is also important to keep in mind. A good rule of thumb is to plant at a distance from your home that is at least half the mature height of the tree. In other words, trees with mature heights of 20 feet or more should be planted 10-20 ft away from your home. Also be mindful of overhead power lines and structures when planting. If you do plant a tree on the south side of your home, try to plant 2.5 times the mature height of the tree away from your house to avoid winter shading.

There are also other ways that planting trees can help keep your home cool during warm weather. Heat absorbing

materials such as driveways and pavement continue to release heat long after the sun has set, keeping the air around such areas warmer for much longer than you think. Planting a tree to shade those areas can buffer the air around your house as well as keep your car cooler. Shading an air conditioner can improve its efficiency by 10%, plus all that light hitting the tree leads to increased evaporation of water from the leaves, making the air even cooler around the tree.

Evergreen trees keep their foliage throughout the whole year, and because of this they make excellent screens and breaks from the cold winter winds. Cold air leaking in and warm air escaping creates temperature fluctuations in our homes that account for almost half of the heat load in the winter. Evergreens with crowns and branches low to the ground, such as junipers, spruces, and firs, can

stop cold air from entering the house and evaporating heat away.

For maximum winter wind protection, evergreens should be planted to the east and southeast. These are the prevailing directions for most winter winds, but keep in mind any local features such as mountains that may cause the winds to come from a different direction.

Windscreens can be planted in either straight or curved rows, and needn’t be close to the home to provide protection. The insulating properties extend 10 times the height of the planting. In other words, a group of evergreens that’s 15 feet height, will still provide protection to a home 150 feet away. Small trees should be planted 6-8 feet apart in the rows, while larger trees should be planted 15 feet apart. Smaller shrubs can be planted 2-4 feet apart.

In addition to energy savings, trees also absorb and slow down storm water runoff, reduce air pollution by absorbing carbon and ozone and releasing oxygen, provide habitat to birds and animals, reduce noise pollution around your home, and raise property values.

Fall is a great time to plant, so plant now and start enjoying all the benefits trees have to offer.

Fall is an excellent time to plant Cool Wave Pansies. The warm soil and moderate air temperatures encourage the plants to grow quickly and produce lots of colorful, spreading blooms.

‘Bud Bloom’ Fall Brings Cool Temps, and

HeathersRevered for their stunning colors and textures, these lovely plants bloom from late summer to early winter!

This simple native plant has been hybridized with varieties that bloom in spring or fall/winter. And not only do the flowers bloom in beautiful colors, but evergreen Heather foliage can be found in deep green, chartreuse or golden tones.

New to the gardening world, thanks to German breeder Kurt Kramer, are Heathers that bloom in late summer to early winter. These are the ‘Bud Bloom’ Heathers with flowers that never fully open.

These plants are very hardy to withstand the late fall weather, and the colorful buds hang on a very long time, making it look just like they are flowering. ‘Bud Bloom’ Heathers and the extensive selections of Heather varieties enable gardeners to have a sequence of blooming plants almost all year long. ‘Bud Bloom’ Heather varieties are available in shades of purple, pink, rose, magenta and white.

‘Bud Bloom’ Heathers are easy-care plants. Plant in full sun or as much sun your fall and winter gardens will receive. Amend the soil with compost or use Al’s Potting Soil for your containers. The plants are compact growers to 12-14 inches and hardy to -30º F.

‘Bud Bloom’ Heathers are an easy way to keep flowering color in your fall garden or front porch containers. It’s wonderful to be able to enjoy colorful flowers even during the change in seasons!

Cool Wave Pansies are available in beautiful colors that complement the bold hues of changing autumn leaves.

These weather-resistant pansies bloom in the fall and again in the spring into early summer, making them a gardener’s dream!

Cool Wave Pansies

Perfect for hanging baskets, flower beds or patio containers, fall pansies will bloom for many weeks until the first hard freeze. Place a few pots close to your house to enjoy sweet fragrance on a crisp, sunny autumn day. Or plant them in hollowed out pumpkins andaccent them with straw bales for autumndecoration. Cool Wave Pansies pair well with Mums, Ornamental Pepper, Dianthus, Coreopsis and Lavender, to name a few.

One of the advantages to the Cool Wave Pansy’s branching habit is that it will have more blooms than a normal pansy, which means more beautiful color. Apply Al’s Transplant Fertilizer at the time of planting and in about a month, apply Al’s Slow Release Fertilizer for continuous, spreading blooms.

At the end of a rough winter, the foliage and stems may look a little brown and tattered, but fear not, they will produce fresh green growth once the weather warms again in the spring!
