Planting Fall Flowers

Most people quickly think of trees when considering bring fall colors into their yard or garden. Flowers are also a great way to bring the fall season home. Make use of these great flowers which will add dimension and color to your landscaping this year.

Mums are one of the best flowers to use this autumn season. The chrysanthemum is the most popular choice because it has tons of varieties and does well during the fall. Plant mums in the spring and keep them fertilized until July. Mums come in a variety of colors, including white, yellow, bronze, burgundy, red, pink, lavender and deep purple. They grow up to three feet tall and perfectly complement a fall garden. Prune them and by August you'll have chrysanthemums in full bloom! Mums are the absolute classic fall flower.

In addition to mums, bring some asters into your garden this fall during the late summer. They'll bloom sometime between July and October, although they can get very tall. Make sure you use some plant supports to keep them from bending and breaking and they'll in turn help create a lovely garden. Asters create an absolutely huge bloom of purple, pink, red or white flowers that look a bit like daisies. This bushy plant creates a great contrast in a garden and brings color back into the fall.

Lastly, incorporate some goldenrod into your garden. This blooms in early fall and can range in size, growing up to 4 feet. The bright, yellow flowers of goldenrod will definitely brighten up your garden this fall while the leaves are turning; that's what makes goldenrod one of the most perfect fall flowers. Goldenrods are easy to spot because they glow golden and have hundreds of tiny spike-like heads. This flower is often blamed for hay fever, but that's simply because it blooms at the same time as ragweed. Goldenrod has nothing to do with hay fever, so plant away!

These three flowers are the best flowers to plant this fall to bring color into your autumn. While mums in particular are the most popular autumn flower, try goldenrods to bring a bright yellow pop.
