Its nice to see such brightly colored trees contrasts the green foliage which surrounds it. Gold, red, orange, and yellow leaves of oak, cherry, beech and maple trees are the nature’s symbol of fall!

Allium hollandicum ‘Purple Sensation’ flower is a nice addition to the landscape, not only for its color but also for its globular shape. It is a very impressive hybrid Flowering Onion. It produces a tuft of large, strap-shaped leaves, with a strong stem 3′ or so high holding a ball up to 6″ across of many small purple starry flowers over quite a long period. Allium Purple flowers, like other spring-flowering bulbs, purple alliums need to be planted in the fall.

Ensete ventricosum ‘Maurelii’ (Red banana, Abyssinian banana, Ethiopian banana)

This banana-like perennial has large paddle-shaped leaves, which range in color from deep brown to red-purple to pale green. The leaves are very fast growing, producing huge banana leaves which are a lovely green with red and a deep red midrib. Looks like it has been hand painted. Fruits are banana-like but dry and inedible. This plant needs lots of space and lots of attention. It also needs a protected site. It is a classic foliage plant that becomes a striking specimen in the landscape. A popular choice for tropical-inspired gardens.
