The Best Outdoor Plants For Fall Gardening






Most people don’t think to plant anything as the colder weather approaches, believing  that spring and summer are the only times you can plant. In reality, there are lots of  plants that should be planted in the fall in order to get beautiful spring blooms. There  are also several plants which can actually thrive outside in the colder months. Here are  some of the best outdoor plants to consider planting this fall for a garden that stays  vibrant or blooms beautifully when spring arrives.


 


Tulips



Planting tulips in the fall is essential for vibrant spring blooms. Tulip bulbs need the  cooler autumn soil to establish strong roots before winter sets in. Plant them in well drained soil, about 6-8 inches deep, with the pointed end facing up. Choose a sunny  spot for best results, and by early to mid-spring, you’ll be rewarded with their beautiful,  colorful flowers. Tulips are low maintenance, making them a perfect choice for adding  elegance to your garden year after year.


 

Goldenrod



Goldenrod’s vivid yellow blossoms are ideal for a fall color scheme. Bees are drawn to  this late-blooming perennial wildflower native to North America, which should not be  confused with ragweed. From late August to early October, it can blossom. Because  it’s quite tall and only really spectacular when it blooms, combine it with a lovely border.

 


Snapdragons



In search of a true show-stopper? Snapdragons enjoy the crisp fall weather. They may  even continue to bloom through the winter if you live somewhere with warm winters. It  is commonly considered as an annual, so don’t worry too much about the hardiness  zone with this short-lived perennial.


 

Asters



Because asters bloom late, they will help your garden seamlessly transition from  summer to October. These daisy-like flowers, which come in purple, blue, white, and  pink, draw a lot of pollinators, so you’ll enjoy both the blossoms and the visits. Just  make sure you give your plant full sun.


 

Landscape Roses



Landscape roses, sometimes known as shrub roses, are dependable and durable  plants, and newer types are more resistant to disease. These lovely plants bloom well  throughout the season, with early to mid-autumn seeing an exceptionally lovely.


 

Black-Eyed Susan



These adorable plants resemble smiling faces! Make sure you’re buying an annual or  perennial black-eyed Susan by reading the tag. When planting in the fall, choose a  sunny spot with well-drained soil to give them the best chance to establish before  winter.

 


Chrysanthemums



Chrysanthemums, often known as mums, are available in every hue of the rainbow!  Although they are officially perennials, if you don’t plant them far enough ahead of fall,  they probably won’t return the following spring. Not to worry! Treat them as annuals  because they are reasonably priced.

 


Marigolds



Marigolds have been a favorite flower for millennia for a reason. From the time they are  planted in early spring until the first hard cold, these hardy annuals will bloom. Plant  early in the fall and, similar to other fall-blooming plants, make sure they are located in a  spot with a lot of sunlight.


 

Sedums



Sedums come in a number of forms, but this autumn variation is distinguished by its  upright growth habit (it may reach heights of two feet and widths of three feet) and vivid  pink blooms that appear in late summer and early fall. This autumn perennial produces  blooms that attract pollinators and stay for weeks!


 

Sunflowers



The height of a sunflower can vary from a few feet to over ten feet! Since the seeds  take about 60 days to flower, late summer planting is the key to fall-blooming sunflowers - as long as you live somewhere with mild weather throughout September and early  October, that is.
