6. ‘Onyx’ Heucherella(x Heucherella ‘Onyx’)Heucherella are a cross between alumroot, or coral bells (Heuchera spp.), and foamflower (Tiarella cordifolia) and also go by the common name foamy bells. While the early crosses could only really thrive in full shade to partial shade, new hybrids like ‘Onyx’ can take heat and full sun. In fact, planting ‘Onyx’ in full sun brings out its exceptionally dark purple-black foliage color. Its leaves will be more maroon if planted in shade and dappled light. It goes dormant in winter. Use ‘Onyx’ heucherella in mixed borders or to bring deep color to container plantings. It tolerates humidity.Where it will grow: Hardy to minus 25 degrees Fahrenheit, or minus 31.7 degrees Celsius (zones 4 to 9)Water requirement: Moderate to high; keep soil consistently moistLight requirement: Full shade to full sunMature size: 10 inches tall and 16 inches wide
4. Silver Northern Exposure Alumroot(Heuchera Northern Exposure Silver)With increased cold tolerance and rust resistance, Northern Exposure Silver is a great new alumroot hybrid to add to your garden list. (Heuchera also go by the common name coral bells.) The red-purple and silver leaves grow from a single crown to form gently ruffled mounds up to 13 inches tall. This plant goes dormant in winter except in mild-winter climates. Mass plant as a ground cover under trees or tuck into window boxes or containers. Pair it with ferns, violas and deadnettles (Lamium spp.). Where it will grow: Hardy to minus 25 degrees Fahrenheit, or minus 31.7 degrees Celsius (zones 4 to 9)Water requirement: Moderate; lower once establishedLight requirement: Full shade to full sunMature size: 13 inches tall and 16 inches wide
3. ‘Brilliance’ Autumn Fern(Dryopteris erythrosora ‘Brilliance’)In fall the particularly rich bronze foliage of ‘Brilliance’ sets this variety apart. Plants thrive when grown in soil rich in organic matter that is kept consistently moist. This plant goes dormant in winter. Use it as an understory plant beneath trees, on shaded slopes, in woodland settings or in mixed containers.Where it will grow: Hardy to minus 15 degrees Fahrenheit, or minus 26.1 degrees Celsius (zones 5 to 9)Water requirement: Moderate; keep soil consistently moistLight requirement: Part shade to shadeMature size: 20 to 24 inches tall and wide
2. ‘Silver Charm’ Largeleaf Brunnera(Brunnera macrophylla ‘Silver Charm’)The icy green-silver foliage of largeleaf brunnera can act as a spot of brightness in dark, shaded beds, woodland gardens and container plantings. ‘Silver Charm’ is a faster grower than cultivar ‘Jack Frost’ and has slightly narrower, more arrowhead-shaped leaves. In spring the plant sends out sprays of blue flowers similar to forget-me-nots. This plant goes dormant in winter. Use it where you’d like a silver understory or container plant to fill in more quickly. Where it will grow: Hardy to minus 25 degrees Fahrenheit, or minus 31.7 degrees Celsius (zones 4 to 9)Water requirement: ModerateLight requirement: Partial to full shadeMature size: 12 inches tall and 24 inches wide

The berries on viburnums, like this Blue Muffin viburnum, are relished by birds when they ripen in midfall.Viburnums(Viburnum spp.)Native to many areas of North America, Europe and AsiaThere are many species and cultivars of viburnums that can fill in for heavenly bamboo. They provide three-season interest, with late-spring flowers and good fall color. Many produce berries that provide food for birds late into the year. To get a good yield of berries, you need at least two genetically distinct specimans to ensure cross-pollination. Look for the more compact cultivars to replace heavenly bamboo, such as Blue Muffin viburnum (V. dentatum ‘Christom’), which grows to 3 to 5 feet tall and about as wide, or ‘Bailey Compact’ American cranberrybush (V. opulus var. americanum ‘Bailey Compact’), which can grow up to 5 feet tall and wide.Where it will grow: The two species mentioned here are hardy to minus 50 degrees Fahrenheit, or minus 45 degrees Celsius (zones 2 to 8). Water requirement: Average to moist, well-drained soils; adapts to a range of soil typesLight requirement: Full to partial sunMature size: From 3 to 12 feet tall, depending on species and cultivar
This mass of black chokeberry in Minneapolis is just beginning to develop its fall color. (Note the large number of black berries.)Red and Black Chokeberries(Aronia arbutifolia and A. melanocarpa)Native to the eastern U.S., generally from Maine to east TexasThese are deciduous shrubs with good fall color and long-lasting berries for the birds. Red chokeberry (A. arbutifolia) has intense scarlet foliage in the fall, giving way to dangling clusters of red fruit. ‘Brilliantissima’ is the most commonly available cultivar; it grows slowly to 6 to 8 feet tall, with attractive red berries and foliage.For a smaller plant, try black chokeberry (A. melanocarpa). It has black, rather than red, berries, and its fall foliage is deeper shades of gold to purple. It tolerates cold temperatures and wet soils a little better. ‘Autumn Magic’ and ‘Morton’ are two compact cultivars that can fit in many of the spots where heavenly bamboo is currently used.Where it will grow: Hardy to minus 45 degrees Fahrenheit, or minus 43 degrees Celsius (zones 2 to 7)Water requirement: Moist to dry, well-drained soilsLight requirement: Full to partial sunMature size: Varies depending on species and cultivarMoreFee...
