Few plants have as exciting a combination of fall colors, right? I love that Amsonia as well -- keep meaning to make a space for a stand of it! Hi, Laura.

I planted one for a client a decade ago, a tree form in a narrow bed between a house and long driveway. In October the flowers have turned pink and the leaves yellow- with the dramatic form and a variety of textures and colors in the perennials beneath (Heuchera 'Burgundy Lace', Baptisia sphaerocephala, and Amsonia hubrichtii to name a few) it is stunning.
