Mums are great for fall.
My best friend had the prettiest flowers and yard where ever she lived. Her garden was ALWAYS in bloom. I asked her the same question, how to find the seasonal plants that bloom. She said to me to go to a nursery each season and see what is in bloom there. They rotate plants for each season. Right now you will find many mums on sale, Chinese bellflower, cockscomb, asters are hugely popular for fall, fall crocus, and don't forget plants that turn their leaves in fall for a colorful eye pleaser. Have fun!
Mums are always great, so pretty and a variety of colors. Its a good time to plant them, too
I agree, I think Mums are the most wonderful plants for fall. I love the colors and their pretty shape. If you buy large ones, they can be expensive (at least for my budget) so I get the smaller ones and let them peek out for that fall touch of color. Depending on your hardiness zone, they may even come back next year!
