We have a special treat for you today if you want to have the best fall flower display ever: three unique and stunning flowering plants. All 3 will give your autumn decorations a serious wow factor.
Asters
Asters add a plethora of new tones to autumn flower arrangements and planters with their wide range of colors, from white to purple to yellow to pink to blue. And because their flowers can last until the first frost, they offer year-round beauty.
They bring a new dimension to the garden with their daisy-like flowers. When combined with mums or used on their own, asters add a riot of color to any arrangement.
Asters’ rising popularity over the past few years has led many retailers to begin offering the flowers for sale alongside more traditional fall favorites such as mums in decorative flower containers. Plants with unfurling buds are the best to buy. Thanks to this, the plants will continue to bloom all the way through autumn.
They can be planted straight into the landscape or overwintered inside in containers. Even though they don’t bloom until the fall, they maintain a lush, green appearance from spring to summer.
When shopping for asters, make sure to get the hardy varieties so you can plant and keep them.
Cabbage & Kale
In recent years, ornamental cabbage and kale have become popular fall houseplants despite being two different species.
The foliage on each of these plants is just stunning. And it gets better as fall goes on and the weather gets cooler.
They are absolutely beautiful as a bedding plant or in pots and containers due to their range of white, purple, and green tones.
Ornamental Peppers
When autumn finally arrives, ornamental pepper plants are at their peak. When many other annuals are starting to fade, peppers of most varieties start to really pop with their vivid hues.
All the colors of the fall spectrum are represented by ornamental peppers this season. Plants of certain types, such as the Sangria, Chili-Chili, and Tangerine, can produce hundreds of brightly colored peppers.
They look great on their own in containers or flowerbeds, and they also make a great seasonal accent in planters. You can’t go wrong with placing them around decorative grasses or cornstalks in the fall. Better yet, they maintain their vibrant hues right up until the first frost.
And if that weren’t enough, they can withstand long periods without water and few pests. That makes them one of the most hassle-free and low-maintenance autumn flowers you can have. In addition, their seeds are simple to save for the following year.
