Best Fall Plants to Decorate Your Yard


September 30, 2021


You may be thinking more about pumpkins now when it comes to decorating your yard, but there are some great, vibrant plants that are in their prime now that the fall season has started!  

Freshen up your yard this fall with these beautiful autumn plants:

Autumn Crocus

Cousins of a spring favorite of the same name, the autumn crocus, is a type of lily that blooms early-mid fall. Its beautiful purple petals are sure to stand out in any garden; just make sure to give them plenty of sunlight.

New England Aster

If you really want to bring in the color, opt for the New England Aster, which blooms in early fall and comes in various bright shades of pink, purple, and red. These plants have the ability to grow quickly and are very tall when soaking up the sun.

Sedum Autumn Joy

Appropriately named, this fall plant is sure to bring you some seasonal joy! There are many types of sedums, but this fall variety is a pretty bright pink color and is a favorite for pollinators. 

Sunflowers

Perhaps one of the most popular and well-known flowers, sunflowers thrive in autumn! They can grow up to 10 feet tall and are the perfect yellow color to make you smile when you see them (and the birds too, since they love their seeds).

Pansies

Pansies don’t mind the cold, making them a classic option for fall. They have gorgeous, colorful petals that might even last into the beginning of winter.
