12 Spectacular Annual Fall Flowers
It’s time to change out summer container gardens for a fall look now that the days are growing shorter and temperatures cooling. Discover a dozen perfect plants for fall. By Justin Hancock
Chrysanthemum
Beautiful mums create a cushion of color in festive seasonal shades of red, orange, yellow, peach, and white, as well as contrasting shades of pink. Because of their popularity, you can find these fall flowers in a wide variety of sizes. Look for dainty mini-mums in tiny 2-inch-wide pots (perfect for table décor) or giants that can grow a couple of feet across.
Pansy
Pretty pansies provide lovely cool-season color in just about every shade of the rainbow. Wonderfully versatile and heavy blooming, pansies are perhaps the perfect fall flower.
Old-fashioned varieties grow in tidy mounds. Look for new varieties, too, that trail and are ideal as groundcovers or hanging baskets. Bonus: Plant pansy in the fall and in many areas, they come back to bloom again in the spring.
Celosia
Durable and easy-care celosia is a natural for fall because many varieties appear in the traditional color palette. Celosia provides bright yellow, warm orange, scarlet red, and deep burgundy purple accents to your container gardens. And don’t forget to add celosia to your landscape beds and borders. Plus, the flame-like plumes of bloom add fun vertical texture to other fall flowers.
Purple Fountain Grass
While not a flower, purple fountain grass is the ideal accent for other fall flowers. Its burgundy-purple foliage pairs perfectly with other colors.
Plus, it adds wonderful texture to plantings -- especially mounding mums and kale.
Croton
Croton is ideal for autumn. A houseplant in cold-weather regions (or a shrub in frost-free areas), it also grows well as an annual. Enjoy its flamboyant foliage in rich shades of red, orange, yellow, and purple. Look for different varieties to find the perfect croton for your fall plantings.
Flowering Kale
Also called flowering cabbage, this is one of the toughest plants for fall. It holds up well to frosty temperatures and looks good all winter long in mild-winter areas! Kale offers dramatic color and texture and pairs well with just about every fall flower.Note: Flowering kale is bred for its ornamental appearance, not for taste. We don't advise consuming flowering kale varieties.
Aster
You can grow aster as a beautiful fall perennial in many regions, but it’s an outstanding annual, too. Flowering in shades of purple, pink, white, and blue, asters are an ideal break for the traditional end-of-the-season color palette.Bonus: Aster is one of the best plants to feed hungry bees and butterflies in autumn.
Dianthus
A cool-season stunner, dianthus offers beautiful flowers and wonderful fragrances. Be sure to plant dianthus where you can enjoy their great scent! You’ll find dianthus in a range of colors, from white and pink to red and purple, so there’s sure to be an ideal variety for your look.
Sweet Alyssum
Another flower to grow for its beautiful fragrance, sweet alyssum creeps along the ground creating a carpet of color in the fall.
Or use it in containers to spill over the edges like a waterfall. Either way, the effect in enchanting! Sweet alyssum tolerates cool weather well, and can bloom all fall and winter long in mild areas.
Ornamental Pepper
Bred to be looked at rather than eaten, ornamental peppers are perfect for fall. These plants offer colorful fruits in festive shades of red, yellow, orange, and purple. There are different shapes and sizes available, from perfectly round Black Pearl to the undersea look of Chilly Chili.
Viola
Violas are cute and charming smaller cousins of pansies. They offer a multitude of flowers in just about every color. Because the blooms are daintier, they hold up better to rain and other weather. Violas come in a wider color range than pansies, making them among the most versatile fall flowers.
Black-Eyed Susan
Bold and dramatic, black-eyed Susan offers golden-yellow daisy-shaped flowers. A favorite of bees and butterflies, it brightens any landscape or container garden planting. Black-eyed Susan looks particularly good with mums and asters.

Seasonality of flowers
In this article we will tell you about the seasonality of the main flowers used in floristry.
“Why do I need this information, I’m not a florist,” some of you might think 🙄
In fact, the information is very important and useful❗ Especially in terms of material costs for wedding floristry 💸
After all, you see, the use of seasonal flowers can significantly reduce your costs 💶 for decorating a wedding.
And not only the costs... But the quality of the flower also plays a big role.
For example, a peony… Yes, now you can get it at any time of the year, BUT ⛔ the effect in the autumn-winter season from it will not be what you expect, because by this moment, the peonies are already getting smaller and practically do not open, but remain closed in the form of a bud ...
Therefore, we will reveal the whole truth about the season of the main flowers used in wedding floristry ... on a date before or immediately after such flower holidays as September 1, March 8, February 14, the cost even for these flowers rises many times, and therefore the cost of floral arrangements will be much higher ❗❗❗

🌹🌺 Roses and orchids are certainly good and are rightfully considered queens among wedding flowers. But autumn 🍂 is the time when you can experiment with the style of the celebration, including the wedding bouquet 💐 The bright colors of autumn, like sweeping brush strokes of the artist, can convey seasonal flowers:
📌 Gerberas
📌 Asters
📌 Gladiolus
A a bouquet of sunflowers , complemented by sprigs of greenery, will bring memories of a hot summer and will look advantageous against the background of a snow-white bride's dress. Usually such flowers are left on a long stem, collecting several pieces in a bouquet and tying them with a bright satin ribbon. Autumn bouquets are often diluted with hypercuma sprigs, rowan berries or rose hips. For boutonnieres in such cases, large flowers are used individually.
Autumn fruits can become an original element of the bouquet: clusters of viburnum and mountain ash, small apples and other berries 🍒 and fruits 🍋
⛔What should be remembered when looking for flowers out of season?
If you want peonies in November-December, then it's real, but expensive! The buds are small (most often they remain buds like that, they do not bloom)! 🎨 The color palette is very limited!
And of course don't forget to mix everything with year-round flowers 🌹
❗Remember about the price increase for 🌺 on the holidays.
❗Remember that the use of seasonal flowers not only saves the wedding budget, but also pleases with the quality and freshness of the flower!

Floristics and seasonality of flowers
We talk about the seasonality of the main flowers used in bouquets and decorations
Variety of colors
Beginning florists often encounter an incredible variety of varieties and varieties of plants that are grown on plantations around the world and are delivered through auctions for sale in city shops.
In addition to varieties, flowers differ in shape, size and color of inflorescences. Depending on these signs, they will harmoniously combine in a bouquet or, on the contrary, spoil the overall impression.
Another feature of working with flowers is seasonality, which can be interpreted in different ways. On the one hand, there are plants that are not regularly available for ordering in stores and are grown only at certain times of the year. This is due to the most favorable growing conditions on plantations, taking into account their geography, as well as demand.
On the other hand, seasonality has an associative range in the client, formed from traditions and experience. For example, spruce branches will always be associated with winter and the New Year, yellow leaves with autumn, grass with summer, and snowdrops with spring.
We have prepared for you a catalog of the main colors that can be found on shop windows today, dividing them into seasons according to customer associations.
The use of seasonal flowers not only saves the budget, but also pleases with the quality and freshness of the flower!
