When planning planting in the garden, remember to include plantsdecorative also autumn . If they run out, we will not enjoy one of the most beautiful seasons of the year.
A harbinger of the upcoming autumn in my garden is blooming goldenrod (Solidago hybrida), sometimes called Polish mimosa.It'sa perennial with a stiff stem , growing up to 150 cm. Its shoots end with yellow, largepanicles flowersthat gracefully move in the wind. Goldenrod looks nice in a larger group. It can be cut intovasesorcomposeof itdry bouquetsThis perennial grows well in any substrate and iscompletely frost-resistant
I planted my goldenrod by the pond, but they are soexpansivethat they have spread all over the garden. I tear out their excess and usually treat it as a "substitute plant", which, for example, fills the bed afterspringflowers bulb-tulipslubcrocuses

When writing about nicely colored plants, it is also worth mentioningpalm maple(Acer palmatum).Most of its varieties are quite capricious in cultivation. They all requiresoil humus ,slightly acidicand moderate moistWhen the substrate is too dry, the tips of the leaves dry out.
