Put Some Color Into Your Fall LandscapingFall colors, though brief, add a rich and vibrant feel to any garden, especially one that has been planned with all four seasons in mind.
The right combination of plants, trees and shrubs can be used to landscape naturally and turn an otherwise boring yard into a flourishing autumn garden that features color, texture and dimension.
Every garden should include a wide variety of plants to ensure that there is something blooming and providing visual inspiration year round.
In fall, there are a select few plants that flower and several shrubs and trees that provide both color and interesting foliage.
Some of the best flowering plants to add to a garden in the fall include several annuals that you might not think of as the best choices for fall.
Marigolds, salvia and silver dusters, and snapdragons are three annuals that provide plenty of color and are capable of surviving and blooming well into autumn.
If your yard has extensive garden beds, these three annuals are best used in abundance together, in rows or large groupings.
Another way to add them to your garden for a vibrant fall showing is in the form of a border.
Because the annuals do not grow very tall, and their traditional fall colored blooms, an annual border will come across very naturally.
In order to have success with flowering annuals in a showy fall garden, these plants do need to be planted before fall has completely arrived and the temperature begins to steadily drop.
This gives the plants a chance to acclimate and establish themselves in the garden.
Other fall flowering favorites include several varieties of mums and asters. Both of these are widely used in fall gardens, and many times, only offered by nurseries towards the end
