Fall Plants for Zone 4
Eau Claire, Wisconsin

Possibly the reddest Maple for fall color. There are several varieties including 'Autumn Spire' and 'Northwood'

Is another beautiful Maple for fall. The color may vary, but is mostly a golden orange/red.

An autumn blooming vine that is worth the wait. Just remember that Clematis likes cool roots. Shade them with another plant and give them extra mulch. Eastern exposure seems best for this one.

Bright red berries make this shrub a late season treat.

If planted in full sun, this shrub will reward you with amazingly bright leaves in the fall.

Bright, clear yellow leaves in the fall have the distinctive shape of the Ginkgo.

An obvious choice for those of us who love to bring an armful of the blooms indoors for our tabletops.

Huge, long-lasting blooms eventually turn from a clean white to a dusky pink. Because it does 'double-duty' as a great cutting plant, this is one of my favorite fall plants.

I like that this plant has golden fruits for fall. A nice variation.

A three-season plant, this shrub leafs out red in spring gradually turning a golden yellow. In the fall, it's the reverse -- turning a beautiful golden orange. The summer flowers are icing on the cake.

Ok, so the name would tip you off. Another nice display of autumn color in shades of orange and red.

This perennial has long-lasting flowers in a season when the summer bloomers are done.

The feathery plumes of this perennial grass arrive in the fall and can stay until early spring. Cut just above the ground before new grass starts in spring.
