Vivid colors; red and yellow foliage, coupled with a multi-colored rose are tempered by the more neutral tones of the ground-covering grass and cinnamon-colored bark of the Acer griseum. The maple's green foliage is attractive all summer long though in fall it takes on red tones, joining the chorus of colorful foliage. Be sure to check out the planting plan of this combination for ideas on how to include it in your garden.
