Does rain help with foliage?
Rainfall is a crucial in fall foliage. Nutrients ensure that leaves produce pigments that create brilliant colors. Leaf loss and less impressive displays can be caused by heavy rain or storms. An ideal scenario would be abundant rainfall during the growing season, followed by cool and sunny autumn days. Look for foliage attributes such as color, variegated patterns, leaf shape and texture. Some varieties change hues throughout the year, while others exhibit spectacular fall color. Think about how different plants will look together and how foliage complements other features such as flowers, berries, fruit, and bark.
