An Introduction to More than 200 Native Plants of the South Beautiful Fall Colors Fall color in the H. L. Blomquist Garden, 6.5 acres filled with regional native plants on the campus of Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. Plant trees and shrubs to bring you garden color in every season. Spanish Moss A southern magnolia and liveoaks hung with Spanish moss flank this house in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, facing the Gulf of Mexico. This is a look only properly achievable by planting native. Azaleas of every color! A scattering of Piedmont azaleas, ranging in colors from rose to white, light up deciduous hardwood forests just as they start to leaf out. At their feet, just out of sight in this photo, is blue phlox, pairing will with the warmer tones of the azaleas. Cheekwood Botanical Gardens This autumn scene shows the native plant garden at Cheekwood Botanical Gardens in Nashville, Tennessee, at this time curated by Jenny Andrews. Because limestone underlies the slightly acid soil, the dominant trees are white ash, hickories, and eastern red cedar with an understory of flowering dogwood and redbud. Garden of Louise Smith of Birmingham, AL One garden that illustrates this particularly well is the home garden of Louise Smith of Birmingham, Alabama. She has combined an artistic eye and a thorough knowledge of native plants to create an exceptionally diverse and colorful woodland garden. Early spring, before the canopy has leafed out, is a time for wild azaleas and woodland flowers. In this scene, in mid-April a bark mulch path leads up to her extensive early spring woodland flower garden. Fire pink, blue phlox, celandine poppy, Piedmont azalea, and yellow azalea provide the color, while Christmas fern and the leaves of flowers not currently in bloom fill the forest floor. Note the thick, natural mulch of last year's leaves.
