‘Ogon’ Spirea

My ‘Ogon’ spirea bush turns a wonderful shade of orange this time of year.
You get variations of red, yellow and orange all at the same time.
Here’s how it looked in May. Great plant, no?
It really lights up everything around it. And I had no idea it would yield such great fall colors, too.
I like the deep red-purple colors in azalea bushes right now, too. (Although I must say these puny azaleas in New York are nothing like the monster ones I remember in the South.)

Bill Cary grew up in Louisville, Ky. His gardening was limited to growing parsley and impatiens on the windowsill of Manhattan walkups until the mid-1990s when he bought a rundown old chicken farm on 8 acres in the Hudson Valley. Now he spends his weekends chasing deer, hacking away at invasive shrubs and vines and wondering why he doesn`t have more meadow and less lawn.
