Add these plants to your garden for gorgeous fall color

Fall color in Seattle can be a showstopper — especially after a rainy spring and a drier autumn. Revel in the season by adding perennials, trees and shrubs to your garden that go through that beautiful chlorophyll breakdown. Pairing with an evergreen backdrop or ground cover will help set off the display to maximum advantage. Here is a gallery of some of the most colorful plants to add this year.

For inspiration on the go, get out and stalk the leaves at local botanical gardens and arboreta like:

• Kubota Garden
• Washington Park Arboretum
• Center for Urban Horticulture
• Bellevue Botanical Garden
