Sunflowers are the beautiful flowers of summer, tulips (my fave) are for spring, and there are some wonderful blooms for autumn. They’ll certainly make you smile throughout fall.
Celosia – This striking flame-like ornamental plant blooms in vivid red and orange. It is a low maintenance flower that is durable and rigid. Because of these qualities it is a great addition to a centerpiece.
Helenium – This plant is also known as “sneezeweed”. It gives all the lovely colors of fall; orange, brown, red, yellow and orange. It is part of the sunflower family, so if you are missing summer this is your alternative flower.
Spider Mums – As much as I dislike spiders, I adore spider mums. These flowers are a nice addition to centerpieces. Arrange them in a shallow bowl with small twigs, maple leaves or any other fall foilege.
Pansy – This sweet little flower will be the main focus of our flower beds come mid-September. With two-toneed delicate petals it will add so much color and will thrive in the cooler temperatures of fall.
