Fall blooms are a delightful reminder that the beauty of nature doesn’t end with summer. As the hot summer days wind down, there are still plenty of flowers to enjoy during the cooler months. Sunflowers may be wrapping up their season, but Mums are just getting started, and you can still enjoy the vibrant colours of coneflowers, chrysanthemums, hydrangeas, petunias, and even some late-blooming sunflowers. These hardy flowers can withstand the cooler fall temperatures, making them perfect for brightening up your garden or home with a fresh bouquet before winter arrives.
Fall is also the perfect time to plant certain flowers in preparation for next spring and summer. A good rule of thumb is that if the plant grows from a bulb, like tulips or crocuses, it should be planted in the fall. This gives the bulbs enough time to establish their roots before the ground freezes, but prevents them from sprouting too soon. Vegetables like garlic also thrive when planted in the fall—plant your garlic cloves a couple of weeks after Thanksgiving to get the best results next summer.
So, take advantage of the fall season to enjoy the last of the year’s blooms and get a head start on your spring garden! There’s still plenty of time to fill your garden with colour and flavour for next year. Start planting and enjoy the beauty and bounty of the season.
