The turn of the season is in the air. As the heat of the day coasts into the pleasant relief of fall, summer-blooming perennials everywhere are putting on their final shows. As a landscaper, assembling collections of colorful components for every season never really ends. If you haven't already, add this one to your list of late-summer-through-fall blooming perennials: Anemone x hybrida, commonly called Japanese Anemone.

The fog-laden Pacific Coast is home to California's state tree, the Coast Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens). These ancient survivors of fire and flood are the foundational species of our mystical, world-famous forests. For the landscaper, a well done redwood garden design can create an ambience of awe-inspiring timelessness, but does require some background knowledge.
