Although the frost hit you and must have hurt some of your garden, it certainly doesn't look it. Your garden is always a pleasure to visit, even a virtual visit.

It does have such nice foliage right now. I will keep in mind that it is a sprawler, or a mover, as you say.

It has large white plumes in the springtime... rather like Aruncus dioicus, but its foliage is much more like a sumac, Rhus typhina. <br />~JulieWife, Mother, Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10601987822088200476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266054126005966461.post-27346268385790092232012-10-16T14:24:53.877-04:002012-10-16T14:24:53.877-04:00Nicole,

Give it a good watering and it still might be ok... the leaves die off after a frost (or a bunny nibbling in this case), but the roots will keep growing all winter long. Wire would be a good idea to keep them from eating it again. <br />Thanks for reading!<br />~JulieWife, Mother, Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10601987822088200476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266054126005966461.post-36693672374870192012012-10-16T14:22:23.072-04:002012-10-16T14:22:23.072-04:00Jason,

If you see signs of anthracnose, I recommend treating it just like you would black spot on roses: try to pick off the infected leaves, remove infected leaves from the ground and apply an organic fungicide spray. I treated two trees this way when they started to show symptoms and they are still healthy now, without additional spraying, three years later.<br />~JulieWife, Mother, Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10601987822088200476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266054126005966461.post-1555901874888915792012-10-16T14:08:02.406-04:002012-10-16T14:08:02.406-04:00The picture of the Miscanthus seedheads is really ...The picture of the Miscanthus seedheads is really striking.

What really caught my eye wasn't even a flower it was the foliage of Sorbaria sorbifolia, something I don't remember seeing before. I hope the hard frosts stay away a little longer for you.

You inspired me to plant Japanese Anemones and it was doing wonderfully until the rabbits ate it down yesterday! I will have to wrap it better with wire so I can enjoy it next year! Happy fall!
