gardening

Come September and October, the colors of the garden change dramatically as foliage turns fiery. Hardy mid-season blooms and fall-loving newcomers take over from summer flowers.
Native pods, resplendent
grasses and beautiful berries converge for a glorious garden finale. Of all the seasons in a gardener’s life, none is quite as rewarding as autumn!

LANTANA
Tuck a bucket of carnival squash into a display of yellow lantana and salvia ‘Black & Blue’ to highlight the harvest mood.

FALL CLASSICS
Say goodbye to summer, but continue to enjoy bountiful blossoms with a mix of chrysanthemums, wine-colored coleus, cannas and grasses.

MUMS
The quintessential fall flower, this eye-catching perennial red chrysanthemum is paired with sedum and aster.

DAHLIA
Plant dahlia in a location that gets at least six hours of sun each day.

CONEFLOWER
Echinacea purpurea is most commonly seen in magenta, but it also comes in white and yellow varieties.
