Keep Your Garden Looking Great with Fall-Blooming Annuals

Keep Your Garden Looking Great with Fall-Blooming Annuals

You will want your garden to show that the seasons are changing as summer turns into fall. That means switching from dahlias in the summer to mums and marigolds in the fall.

To make things even better, you could grow fall veggies like ornamental cabbage and other autumn annuals that will add warm color to the brown spots in your yard.

The best part? These flowers will keep making your fall garden look nice until the first frost.

1.Canna Lily

The fiery canna lily will add a burst of color to your yard this fall. These bright flowers bloom in late summer and continue to do so until the first frost.

Their leaves look like bananas and come in beautiful shades of red, orange, and yellow, giving your fall scene a touch of tropical charm.

2.African Daisy

Full sun is best for these daisy-like flowers, which are sometimes called “blue-eyed daisies” because of the beautiful way their centers are faded. From late summer to early fall, they give stunning color soon after being planted.

3.Japanese Anemone

These flowers bloom in the fall and have beautiful stems that branch out. The petals are soft pink and white. They do best in light to partly shaded areas and like dirt that is high in organic matter.

4.Nemesia

Although its name means “enemy,” Nemesia is not a bad thing at all. This pretty flower with a sweet scent does best in cooler weather and dirt that doesn’t stay soggy.

This makes it a great choice for flower beds, borders, and hanging baskets.

5.Helenium

This warm-colored flower, which is sometimes called “sneezeweed,” looks great in cottage gardens, wildflower fields, and everywhere else!

It grows best in full sun and blooms from late summer to fall. It likes wet soil and butterflies are drawn to it.

6.Cosmos

Something so charming and appealing about cosmos is the way their flowers look like happy daisies. That’s likely why they’re used so often in flower designs and bouquets.

Take some and put them in vases around your house for fun pops of color. You can also throw them in the yard and they will bloom from summer to fall. Birds, bees, and butterflies will also come to them.

7.Hardy Fuchsia

The two-tone flowers on these fuchsias are really eye-catching and will add a special touch to your yard, but they are picky about the soil they grow in.

Things shouldn’t be too hot, too dry, or too wet. If you do it right, the bush will always be there in the fall with lots of hanging flowers.

8.Goldenrod

The goldenrod flower, which gets its name from its deep yellow color, is a good choice for any fall yard. But be careful—it tends to spread quickly and is sometimes thought of as a weed.

Even so, it’s easy to find a cultivar that does better, so you can still have those bright yellow plumes that look like fireworks. They do well in a lot of different situations, from full sun to part shade and from average to dry soils.

9.Sumac

It’s likely that some of your best recipes call for sumac: A lot of tasty foods taste sour and lemony when the dried, ground berries of this flower are added.

They’re just as interesting to have around in your yard. Most especially in the fall when the clumps of short-stalked flowers and leaves turn a bright color. Keep in mind that this one can get as big as 30 feet!

10.Sunflowers

There is no way not to love sunflowers! I mean, they’re one of Ree Drummond’s all-time favorite flowers for a reason: they make gardens across the country look happy and big.

Even though they’re at their tallest in the summer, they’ll still be there until early fall. Read our full guide on how to grow sunflowers to make your place more interesting.
