Plants in Secret Base – The Another Green Room garden

A large, evergreen tree, with the upper trunk and branches orange-brown, developing a picturesque, irregular outline with maturity. Twisted grey-green needles are borne in pairs.

The beautiful, deciduous foliage of this small, round-headed tree is attractively lobed and turns from its usual mid-green in autumn to take on shades of yellow, orange or red before it falls. In late spring tiny purple-red flowers are borne in small pendulous clusters and these are followed in late summer by charming red winged fruits, which float down from the branches when they are ripe.

A compact, medium-sized deciduous shrub with ovate leaves turning red and orange in autumn. Small pure white, urn-shaped flowers in clusters in spring.

A small, upright, elegant evergreen shrub with a bamboo-like habit  with compound leaves and lanceolate leaflets which are purplish when young and in winter. Small white flowers in large panicles appear in summer, followed by red berries.

This striking deciduous fern has triangular-shaped fronds, which are coppery-red when young and slowly mature to dark green. One of our recommended plants, it needs plenty of moisture and contrasts beautifully with evergreen ferns and other woodland plants.
