Seasonal Celebrities: Autumn Plants for Your North Carolina Garden

In this online presentation with Jan Little, director of education and public programs at Duke Gardens, you will learn a palette of beautiful and useful plants. We begin with a general horticulture discussion and then introduce a selection of trees, shrubs and perennials, noting their native region, culture, care, design attributes and history with people. Please join us for one or all Seasonal Celebrities sessions. The plant list this week will include Ostrya virginiana, hop horn beam; Ampelaster carolinianus, climbing aster; Colchicum autumnale, fall crocus; Hylotelephium sieboldii, October stonecrop; Ilex verticillata, deciduous holly; Metasequoia glyptostroboides, dawn redwood; Taxodium distichium, bald cypress.
