As temperatures gradually drop and days shorten, there’s no need to let your yard fall out of favor with the changing seasons. Edmonds & Co. Lawn Care & Custom Landscaping shares key tips on maintaining a stunning yard this autumn with a range of plants perfect for the season.
Chrysanthemums
Known as “Mums,” chrysanthemums are a staple for fall landscapes. Available in a wide range of colors, including white, yellow, pink, purple, red, and orange, these flowers can brighten up your garden and enhance your fall decorations.
Pansies
Pansies are ideal for adding vibrant color to your yard during the fall and winter. These resilient flowers thrive in cooler temperatures and can endure Central Alabama’s occasional snow and frost. Planting pansies now ensures they will bloom through fall, winter, and even into spring.
Ornamental Kale
Ornamental kale is a striking addition to any fall or winter garden. With various colors and textures, these plants excel in cooler weather and can outlast many other late-blooming varieties, making them a valuable asset for maintaining garden beauty as the seasons change.
Dahlias
Dahlias offer spectacular textures and colors, making them a standout choice for autumn gardens. However, unlike pansies, dahlias will not survive past the first frost. Plant them early in the fall to fully enjoy their vibrant blooms throughout the season.
