www.mapleridgenews.com - THE NEWS - Friday, October 8, 2010 – 23
After a hot, dry summer and a very wet September, our containers have paid the price.
Tired, stressed plants are showing up ev-erywhere, and now it’s time for a change.
As summer gives way to fall, it’s an opportunity to add a fresh autumn look around our homes to lift our spirits just like the refresh-ing fall breezes.
We have never had a better se-lection of plants to create an excit-ing new look in our fall containers.
Through innovation, our indus-try has done an amazing job of putting together a grouping of new and old plants that thrive in fall and winter conditions.
From bergenias and new ‘hot’ fo-liage heucheras to evergreen sag-es, lysimachias, vincas, sedums, tiarellias, ajugas, euphorbias and colourful ivies, there is an amazing showcase of container plants to blend beautifully with winter pansies and violas.
Evergreen ornamental grasses have never been as front and center as they are today, and their soft fl owing look provides the charm we have been missing in our container displays.
From the new varieties of carex, like ‘Everest’ and ‘Strike It Rich’, to the bronze stems of Carex testacae (Zone 6) and the new fescues, like ‘Golden Toupe’, there is a wealth of colour and textures available today like never before.
Even the pure black Mondo Grass (Ophi-opogon ‘Nigrescens’ (Zone 6), surrounded with the silver foliage of Dusty Miller ‘Cirrus’ or pure white violas, offers an opportunity to create a new and stunning look in fall containers.
Funky trees and shrubs can be real eye-catchers in containers as well. Anything with an unusual form or shape gets my vote.
The amazing Cotoneaster corokia (Zone 7) looks like sagebrush gone wild. Tall, thin Cedrus atlantica (Zone 5) and C.a. ‘Glauca Pendula’ add a blue, tall, slender look to add that all important vertical element.
Weeping beech, both the green Fagus sylvatica ‘Pendula’ (Zone 5) and the Fagus sylvatica ‘Purpurea Pendula’ (Zone 5), pro-vide great form and balance to any planter. For a tall, thin look, try the golden and green Irish yew, Taxus baccata fastigiata (Zone 5).
All of these trees not only add form to
your containers, but they also combine so well with all other plants.
Broadleafed plants add the fulliness and colourful fi ll often missing in fall contain-ers.
My all-time favourite is ‘Heav-enly Bamboo’, Nandina domes-tica, especially with so many new forms available today.
The deep rich red of ‘Summer Sunrise’ (Zone 6) provides a colour ‘wow’ for anything pink, gold or silver.
The compact forms, N.d. ‘Gulf Stream’, ‘Harbour Dwarf’ and ‘Moon Bay’ (Zone 6) are nice to blend with ornamental grasses and evergreen perennial foliage plants like heucheras.
Leucothoe has for too long been underutilized in container work.
The compact Leucothoe ‘Scarletta’ (Zone 6), with its bronze new growth that turns brilliant scarlet in late fall, is one of those ‘wow’ plants.
Callunas and ericas, especially the ones with colourful foliage like Erica ‘Mary Helen’ and ‘Golden Starlet‘, add both fl ower and foliage, and the ericas will hold those fl owers through winter.
The new long blooming ‘Bud Bloomers’ are also a welcome addition.
The containers themselves are where we all need to kick it up a notch. If the container doesn’t say ‘wow’, why are you using it?
Tall and thin or low and round are the most pleasing forms. Everything in the middle is just ‘the same old’.
Low containers look great on pedestals too.
If you can fi nd antiques that fi t the style of your patio, so much the better.
Remember, as winter approaches, that frost can split clay and poorly fi red ceram-ics.
Also make sure to use very well drained soils by adding 1/3 fi ne bark mulch.
Most of all have fun. Reach out a little with your fall look and create the ‘wow’ look you’ll be sure to appreciate and enjoy all fall and winter.
Remember too, that as any plant passes its prime, quickly replace it with another.
As most of these plants are perennials, they will easily fi nd a home in your garden.

Home&GardeningTHE NEWS
BY BRIAN MINTER
News Contributor
We all need a late winter
pick-me-up with some
reliable colour that can
withstand nature’s sometimes
fi ckle mood swings. Late cool
spells and heavy frosts (as well as
snow) are still a possibility, so it’s
important to choose early March
outdoor colour carefully.
So, what are the best cool-lov-
ing plants for a hot display? By far
and away, the top performers are
violas and pansies. Pansies may
be old fashioned favourites, but
the many new colours and variet-
ies have certainly kept them up-
to-date and interesting.
My latest favourite is the new
Ultima Morpho, a European
Fleuroselect Gold Medal winner.
It’s a distinctive bi-colour with
mid-blue upper petals and bright
yellow lower petals. Talk about
standing out in a crowd. I used
Morpho in our winter planters,
and it added a much needed lift to
the more muted tones of the other
winter plants.
Wallfl owers are more suited to
late May or June gardens, but I’ve
got my eye on the new dwarf va-
riety, called Fragrant Sunshine,
which, unlike most others, is
perennial and will repeat bloom
year after year. In other words,
with Fragrant Sunshine we can
enjoy early fragrance and colour
and long continuous blooming. I
watched them over the winter in
cold greenhouses, and even their
foliage is beautiful.
Don’t forget their cousins,
Bowles Mauve and its variegated
form that have great perfume and
bloom well into late spring and
summer.At this time of year, the soft co-
lours of primroses blend beauti-
fully with the bronze foliage of
bergenias (Zone 3), heucheras
(Zone 5) and heucherellas (Zone
5), and the reds, bronzes and deep
yellows need silvers, like Dusty
Miller, around them to create a re-
freshing spring look.
The amazing Heuchera Green
Spice is magic with them too, as
is the wonderful Tiarella Forest
Frost (Zone 5).
If you look carefully at this time
of year, you can fi nd some of the
early Wanda primulas throw-
ing out the odd fl ower here and
there. Remember that today we
have the newer seedling varieties
from England in a wide range of
colours accenting those burgundy
leaves. The white and yellow Wandas
are my favourites because they
look so rich with any back up
foliage. They are great garden va-
rieties too, unlike so many of the
big fl owered acaulis varieties we
see today. They do best in partial
shade and if you can, blend them
with four inch pots of the orna-
mental grass, Carex morrowii
Variegata.This combination is beautiful in
light shade under trees.
The amazing early blooming
varieties of English daisies, like
Galaxy, are a true bonus for early
colour. Once properly hardened off, they
are amazing. Either planted by
themselves or spotted in among
white winter heather or Carex
morrowii Variegata, the reds,
pinks and whites of these small-
fl owered button daises scream
spring. They are the way to go.
To make your early displays
stand out, you need a good sized
accent plant, complemented by
enough smaller ones to create
an effect that makes everything
jump. The good news is that many of
these plants are perennials and
as the seasons progress, they will
keep these spots going all year
round with the help of other ac-
cent colours.
These plants are the stuff that
great gardens and containers are
made of. They’re not just a momentary
splash – they’re a colour invest-
ment and are well worth the effort
to fi nd them.
Pansies are perfect for winter colourMETRO CREATIVE GRAPHICS
Pansies and violas are a great selection for a March garden. Though pansies may be an old fashioned favourite, there are a variety of new colours and
varieties that have been bred that will give your garden the perfect punch for the winter blahs.

If there is one trend
that has really
caught my atten-
tion of late, it’s the
vast number of young
couples and families
looking to grow their
own herbs, fruits and
vegetables.
From what I can
tell, it is a completely
organic phenomena as
this demographic is cer-
tainly not the garden
magazine-reading type
– they just want access
to fresh food.
The two biggest limitations they face
is a lack of space (due to smaller urban
lots) and plant knowledge. They are easy
to spot at the garden centre because they
usually ask so many questions, which is a
good thing.
So I thought I’d dedicate an article to
help inspire these young urban farmers.
It involves a lot of name-dropping, so you
will have to excuse the cluttered, albeit
informative, nature of this piece.
• Fruit trees have but two shortfalls
– they occupy a great deal of space and
often shade the ground below, making it
diffi cult to grow other edibles. So choose
carefully. ‘Lapins’ is by far the best coastal cherry,
with its big meaty fruit and split resis-
tance – although for smaller gardens you
might want to consider the genetic dwarf
‘Compact Stella’ – both are self-fertile.
‘Bosc’ and ‘Bartlett’ are good choices for
traditional pears due to their prolifi c and
self-fruitful nature. Despite their exotic
reputation, Asian pears are no harder to
grow than their pyriform counterparts,
but they do crop better with a cross-polli-
nator – ‘20th Century’ and ‘Chojuro’ make
a good pairing.
Quince (Cydonia oblonga) is another
lesser-known fruit tree with golden pear-
like fruit (some cultivars are round) that
is virtually inedible raw, but when cooked
transforms pies and pork dishes into deli-
cacies and makes my favourite jelly.
If I could only have one plum tree in my
yard it would defi nitely be the self-fertile
‘Italian’ prune with its purple egg-shaped
fruit and yellow fl esh – when picked early
it is refreshingly tart, while later crops
are quite sweet, suitable for preserves and
baking.Apple selection can be a bit challeng-
ing with the choice often being between
disease resistance (‘Redfree’, ‘Liberty’,
‘Jonafree’) and fl avour – but it is also
important to pay close attention to the
dwarfi ng rootstock.
‘Golden Sentinel’ and ‘Scarlet Sentinel’
are two genetic dwarf apples that grow in
a columnar form – with an average ulti-
mate size of nine feet tall and only three
feet wide. Your other space-saving option
is to espalier (train branches horizontally
on a fl at plane) a young self-fertile apple.
For these purposes I would consider ‘Spar-
tan’, ‘Royal Gala’, ‘Yellow Transparent’
(for sauce) or ‘Golden Delicious’.
Peaches and Nectarines also benefi t
from being espalier trained under a south
or west roofl ine, where they can be kept
dry and free of peach leaf curl, a fungal
disease common on the coast.
‘Frost’ is the most disease resistant
peach and both are self-fertile.
• Where space for fruit trees is lacking,
berries can be a very practical alterna-
tive. Blueberries are some of the easiest
to grow, and can be blended into a mixed
ornamental border where their brilliant
autumn foliage (‘Northland’) can contrib-
ute to the overall display.
Although self-fertile, you will get larger
fruit and bigger crops if you plant several
different varieties to ensure cross-pollina-
tion. A few of my favourite cultivars include
‘Reka’, ‘Blue Crop’, ‘Duke’ and ‘Spartan’.
Although not everbearing, ‘Tulameen’
is still the best raspberry for consistent
heavy crops, large berries and true rasp-
berry fl avour.
Currants (available in red, black, white,
and pink) and gooseberries both do well
here, as does Jostaberry, a thornless
gooseberry x black currant cross.
For strawberries, the everbearing
‘Tristar’ and ‘Albion’ will grow well in
hanging baskets, containers or in ground.
The new golden-leaved alpine straw-
berry, Fragaria vesca ‘Golden Alexandria’,
looks great as an ornamental and kids
adore the bubblegum fl avoured berries.
• Herbs also grow well in containers and
taste so much better than their bulk bin
supermarket counterparts.
For rosemary, ‘Rex’ and ‘Gorizia’ have
lush (easy to chop) fl avourful leaves, while
‘Arp’ is the hardiest to grow outdoors.
Flat leaf parsley is better tasting than
curled, and garlic chives just have that
extra joie de vivre. ‘Tabor’, ‘English’ and
‘Provence’ are the tastiest thymes, while
‘Grower’s Friend’ is the best of culinary
sages. Basils such as ‘Lettuce Leaf’ and ‘Geno-
vese’ make superior pesto and if you use
a lot of cilantro, make several plantings
a few weeks apart to ensure a supply all
summer. • Last but not least are tomatoes and
kale. For tomatoes, try ‘Tumbler’ or ‘Tumbling
Tom Red’ for hanging baskets, ‘Sweet
Million’, or ‘Early Girl’ for containers – ‘La
Roma’ is your best paste tomato, while
‘Lemon Boy’ is a good choice for a low acid
yellow fruit.
Kales, such as ‘Redbor’, can be sown
from mid June to July, for a delicious and
beautiful fall crop.

We all need a late winter
pick-me-up with some
reliable colour that can
withstand nature’s sometimes
fi ckle mood swings. Late cool
spells and heavy frosts (as well as
snow) are still a possibility, so it’s
important to choose early March
outdoor colour carefully.
So, what are the best cool-lov-
ing plants for a hot display? By far
and away, the top performers are
violas and pansies. Pansies may
be old fashioned favourites, but
the many new colours and variet-
ies have certainly kept them up-
to-date and interesting.
My latest favourite is the new
Ultima Morpho, a European
Fleuroselect Gold Medal winner.
It’s a distinctive bi-colour with
mid-blue upper petals and bright
yellow lower petals. Talk about
standing out in a crowd. I used
Morpho in our winter planters,
and it added a much needed lift to
the more muted tones of the other
winter plants.
Wallfl owers are more suited to
late May or June gardens, but I’ve
got my eye on the new dwarf va-
riety, called Fragrant Sunshine,
which, unlike most others, is
perennial and will repeat bloom
year after year. In other words,
with Fragrant Sunshine we can
enjoy early fragrance and colour
and long continuous blooming. I
watched them over the winter in
cold greenhouses, and even their
foliage is beautiful.
Don’t forget their cousins,
Bowles Mauve and its variegated
form that have great perfume and
bloom well into late spring and
summer.At this time of year, the soft co-
lours of primroses blend beauti-
fully with the bronze foliage of
bergenias (Zone 3), heucheras
(Zone 5) and heucherellas (Zone
5), and the reds, bronzes and deep
yellows need silvers, like Dusty
Miller, around them to create a re-
freshing spring look.
The amazing Heuchera Green
Spice is magic with them too, as
is the wonderful Tiarella Forest
Frost (Zone 5).
If you look carefully at this time
of year, you can fi nd some of the
early Wanda primulas throw-
ing out the odd fl ower here and
there. Remember that today we
have the newer seedling varieties
from England in a wide range of
colours accenting those burgundy
leaves. The white and yellow Wandas
are my favourites because they
look so rich with any back up
foliage. They are great garden va-
rieties too, unlike so many of the
big fl owered acaulis varieties we
see today. They do best in partial
shade and if you can, blend them
with four inch pots of the orna-
mental grass, Carex morrowii
Variegata.This combination is beautiful in
light shade under trees.
The amazing early blooming
varieties of English daisies, like
Galaxy, are a true bonus for early
colour. Once properly hardened off, they
are amazing. Either planted by
themselves or spotted in among
white winter heather or Carex
morrowii Variegata, the reds,
pinks and whites of these small-
fl owered button daises scream
spring. They are the way to go.
To make your early displays
stand out, you need a good sized
accent plant, complemented by
enough smaller ones to create
an effect that makes everything
jump. The good news is that many of
these plants are perennials and
as the seasons progress, they will
keep these spots going all year
round with the help of other ac-
cent colours.
These plants are the stuff that
great gardens and containers are
made of. They’re not just a momentary
splash – they’re a colour invest-
ment and are well worth the effort
to fi nd them.
Pansies are perfect for winter colourMETRO CREATIVE GRAPHICS
Pansies and violas are a great selection for a March garden. Though pansies may be an old fashioned favourite, there are a variety of new colours and
varieties that have been bred that will give your garden the perfect punch for the winter blahs.
