It’s about this time of year when we begin to see a new type of colour in our gardens as berries of all types begin to mature.
Berried branches add fresh new tone, texture and a touch of fall that’s needed, especially after this very dry summer. Not only do they enrich our colour schemes and provide natural feed for birds and other wildlife, they’re also becoming so popular as cuts.
More and more local growers are now producing berries for cut stems and our local flower auction is seeing quite an increase as they’re incorporated into fall and winter bouquets, making them simply ‘pop’.
One of the earliest to ripen is hypericum, and in our area the Magical series, h. inodorum, are some of the best varieties. Growing to only about one metre tall and wide, these deciduous Zone 6 shrubs are a great addition to any garden. These varieties are rust-resistant and have very few insect or disease problems.
They leaf out in mid-spring and early summer, then are covered in a massive number of tiny yellow flowers, which in late summer turn into beautifully coloured, but inedible, berries lasting well into late fall.
Once the decorative berries mature to their true colour they can be harvested as a cut stem. Early in the season before the leaves fall, its best to remove the foliage for a cleaner, more professional appearance when using them in your mixed bouquets.
There are several varieties of Magicals with similar shades of these inedible berries: h. Midnight Glow has deep crimson berries, h. Red Flame, a fire engine red, h. Triumph, which is almost neon

Garden Border Ideas: Beautiful Planting Ideas for the Garden
Creating beautiful planting schemes for your border is simple if you follow some key rules. The main tip is to choose plants that are suited to the conditions in your garden. If you want a spectacular border, your plants need to be able to thrive and that depends on factors like whether they need heat or cool conditions, heavy or free draining soil, six hours of sun or two. There are also decisions to make around what style of border you want, including the colour scheme and the shape – it’s worth taking the time to do some research before making a dash for the garden centre. And how much time will you have? Do you need plants that are low-maintenance? Visit other gardens to get some inspiration on the type of border you want, whether that’s a free flowing cottage type border or a formal border with topiary and neat lines.
