Plant for Fall Color in Nashville
-Choose a site with well-draining soil, or amend existing soil to lighten it and improve drainage.
-Choose a site with partial shade--morning sun and afternoon shade, or an understory planting in dappled shade is ideal.
-General rule of thumb: the daintier and more lace-like the leaf, the less sun they can tolerate. Broadleaf varieties can take a bit more sun.
-Do not fertilize!
-When planting, be sure to supplementally water as needed.
Fall Color Expectations:
-Fall color may change from year to year.
-Red foliage will remain red from spring to fall.
-Green foliage will transition to bright red during the fall.
