Early November is a great time to see fall color in the Garden. Early in the month be sure and view the striking sassafras near Tower Grove House and enjoy dogwoods in the English Woodland Garden. Also note the flowers on the common witchhazels. An autumn treat.

|
|
|
|
Maples and ashes will also be showing color.
|
|
|
|
|
Mums and pansies continue to be striking. The pansies will remain all winter to return in Spring to bloom with the spring bulbs.

Mexican bush sage and pineapple sage remain very attractive up to a killing frost.

Early in the month you can still find some of the wonderful toad lilies. And allow enough time to walk through the Japanese garden, the mum display and fall color is well worth the walk to view.

|
|
Roses and dahlias continue in flower up to frost.

The beautyberries have attractive, showy fruit with a very bright unusual color. The lovely pinkish fruit of the spindletree should not be missed.
|
|
|
|
|
The ornamental grasses remain lovely. Miscanthus will display their showy panicles until late winter. The red berries on the prickly ash in the Native Garden are striking early in the month.

|
|
Though past peak, fall asters can continue into November. Be sure and take note of 'Jindai' in the Experimental Garden.

In the Kemper Center Bird Garden we usually get a great crop of red berries on the winterberry, which will provide many months of winter color. The bluestars will have very nice fall color and some goldenrods should still be showy.

|
The Japanese anemones finish early in the month but the Monk's-hood in the Ottoman Garden may still be in flower. It has very unusual flowers.
