A month after DoLeaf founder, Ryan, and his wife, Jessica,  moved into their new Kansas City digs, they planted this great Autumn Blaze maple in front of their house. Ryan even broke out the construction lights after dark so they could complete their first planting.

Angelina and Dragon’s Blood Sedum

I stopped at the local garden center to pick up some pine straw and wound up with a couple impulse buys: these two beautiful (discounted) sedum. Using a discarded ten- inch pot, I broke up the Angelina (the yellow, spruce-like sedum)  and curved it around the Dragon’s Blood. Then, I  planted both in a  mix of top soil and sphagnum moss. The result is a really colorful winter planting that brightens up the back patio. (And, it only took ten minutes to create!)
