The plants that give seasonal foliage colour in this climate are few, but I'm trying to ferret some out ;-) My best so far is Hamelia patens (Firebush). Its availability seems to be regionally limited even in the US, so I don't know whether it's made its way beyond; but it does have a lovely warm pink/mahogany colour.

I also plants Lagerstroemia for its autumn colour but mine hardly colour at all, mine don't even flower very well so I'm thinking of moving them this winter. Having seen how fabulous they look in N. Carolina I realised that they do need some humidity in the air even if they are drought tolerant. Lack of autumn colour is the price we pay for stable temperatures isn't it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315847063483821430.post-89383321169323340732015-11-22T23:57:57.004-07:002015-11-22T23:57:57.004-07:00I can't believe how pretty it's turned aft...I can't believe how pretty it's turned after being almost black for at least a couple of weeks. It's definitely time you got a cooldown, so I hope the rain and lower temps arrive for you! Ours have gone back up into the eighties, but they had dropped low enough for awhile to give the plants a real respite.Amy@SmallSunnyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490564566463354419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315847063483821430.post-37010432629496264292015-11-22T21:19:52.968-07:002015-11-22T21:19:52.968-07:00At least the crape myrtle came through in the end!...At least the crape myrtle came through in the end! We've seen almost no fall color either. Our daytime high was 87F but cooler weather - and maybe even a touch or rain - is said to be due here later this week.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.com
