Episode 95: Unexpected Fall Color

Since theLet ’s Argue About Plantspodcast is based in New England , we screw all about fall colouring material . This fourth dimension of year is a favorite for most of our staff member , with the native sugar maples turning brilliant red and the birch trees shifting to brilliant lily-livered . But this episode is all about the unsung heroes of fall — plants that do n’t straightaway protrude to nous when you think of vivacious autumnal vividness . And we ’re not just talking about tree . There are some blue-ribbon perennial ( even some that bloom in nightfall ) and a couple of shrubs that no one ever seems to mention as late - season stars . Tune in to find out out what underdogs made our lists .
