By now your summer flowers are probably beginning to fade. Are you looking to add a little color to your garden for the fall season? Of course mums and asters (pictured above) are obvious choices. But there are more. Here's a few to think about.
Sedum grows in clumps. It's flowers are shades of red and pink.
Black eyed Susan is a pretty daisy-like flower that is ideal for full sun.
Of course you can also use ornamental grasses and shrubs for contrast with your flowers. As you can see, just because the long, warm days of summer are over, it doesn't have to mean that your gardens have to stop looking pretty.
Around here, everyone resorts to mums.
ReplyDeleteMost people where I live do,too.
DeleteI thought about buying mums, but temps are still 90s and the sun beats hot in TX. Our sage and salvia is still thriving in the heat. I'm ready for fall colors - maybe in another week or so.
ReplyDeleteMums would not like that kind of heat. Hopefully, you'll be able to get them out in a couple of weeks. I think if I lived in Texas, I would really miss the changing colors of the leaves on the trees!
Deletei've a brown thumb, but love flowers. i've never heard of shadow eyeliner then liquid liner? i've always done it in reverse.
ReplyDeleteYes, I always use eyeshadow first, and the eyeliner. It just works better for me.
DeleteHi Sherry - I love the flowers that abound now .. beautiful what can be done in the autumn garden ..
ReplyDeleteCheers Hilary
Autumn is my favorite season. I love the colors and the crisp, cool air.
DeleteThose would all make beautiful additions to a fall garden.
ReplyDeleteI thought I'd share them, because a lot of people probably would never consider using them.
DeleteThey all look pretty. I wish they could grow and thrive in the desert heat.
ReplyDeleteYou're right - unfortunately these fall plants would not do well in your climate.
DeleteI am just learning the art of gardening so this is great info for me. Can't wait to plant something.
