What to plant for Autumn Colour and Interest

When the chlorophyll that keep leaves green during the growing season and
helps the plant absorb light for photosynthesis, depletes, we are allowed
to enjoy the yellow and orange pigments in the leaves and when new
chemicals are released by the plant we can enjoy the rich crimsons.
