Just because the weather is cooling down does not mean you have to say farewell to your garden. If you live in a warm, mild climate, you can enjoy a flower garden well into late October. Even if you have already started preparing the garden for winter, autumn can still use bright colors to bring it back to life. Autumn garden flowers can lift your mood with their warm shades.
Fall garden flowers in beautiful red and purple hues
Just because most perennials have faded does not mean you cannot still have beautiful flowers for a few more months. Think warm red, burnt orange, dark purple, and sunny yellow; this is not the season for spring pastels.

Choose perennials, trees, and shrubs specifically for their fall color and texture. Mix varieties and colors. Different plant species have their own charm. Trees provide a great backdrop and color at a higher level, while shrubs do the same at a medium height. Grasses provide a beautiful background year-round, but in autumn they really shine with graceful foliage and seed heads. Some perennials bloom in fall with an energy you will never see in spring. Autumn flowers in planters can also add interest to the garden. Grasses, perennials, and annuals are easy to find at the garden center.
