These Stunning Fall Flowers Will Make Your Garden the Best on the Block

Summer may be winding down, but there's still plenty of time to pull on your gardening gloves, break out your tools, and plant flowers that will thrive in the fall. Many types of annuals and perennials start to bloom in the cooler months. Some shrubs even show their best colors in autumn.

When it comes to fall flowers, you've got tons of pretty choices, too. You'll find every variety and shade imaginable from purple asters to mums of various hues. A variety of fall flowers do equally well in pots or planting beds, and some bloom as late as October. Fall perennials also provide late season nectar for pollinators such as bees, butterflies and even hummingbirds before they begin their migration south, while fall-blooming shrubs will add a lovely structure and texture to your landscape. But pro tip: Read the tag's description to ensure your plant will survive winters in your USDA Hardiness zone.
