Autumn plants and flowers are good because they serve a decorative function in spring and summer. With lush foliage they fill the empty space between and create for them beautiful background. And when summer crops fade, autumn crops come into their own and enliven the front garden with fresh colors.
Here are the 8 most popular autumn plants that bloom until late autumn, along with and. Compositions of these flowers will enliven your design and allow you to extend summer for some time.
Rudbeckia (Golden Ball)
This plant is very impressive and unpretentious. Feels great both in a sunny flower bed and in partial shade.
Rudbeckia grows quite widely. therefore, it must be planted at intervals of at least 0.5 m. And so that the crop does not lose its decorative value, the bushes should be moved to a new place every 6 - 8 years.
Buzulnik
Buzulnik inflorescences reach a height of up to 2 m. But even with such rapid growth, the plant does not require fertile soil; it can be grown in one place for up to 30 years.
However, the culture loves shade and moisture, and therefore it should be placed under trees and on the banks of reservoirs.
Buzulnik reproduces in the spring by dividing the roots. On each division we leave 1 - 2 buds and bury them 3 - 5 cm into the soil.
Calendula (Marigold)
With its thick foliage, calendula perfectly muffles and repels with its pungent odor. garden pests, and the phytoncides it secretes destroy pathogenic bacteria. Thanks to your beneficial properties, it is advisable to use calendula to make medicinal baths and balms based on it.
The flowers, which are low to half a meter, are perfect for decorating borders and bloom until frost at - 7 C.
Tagetes (Marigolds)
The smell of this plant with lacy leaves and fiery flowers, also not to the liking of harmful insects. Therefore, it can be planted not only in flower beds, but also between the beds.
When propagating Tagetis by seeds, you need to pay attention to the timing of their collection; seed two years ago does not germinate well. Different varieties should be planted at a distance from each other, as they easily cross-pollinate.
Annual dahlias
They look great among autumn flowers, especially annual varieties; perennials are heat-loving and therefore their rhizomes have to be dug up for winter storage before the first frost occurs.
And late bloomers are in the active phase at this time and it is not advisable to disturb them.
Chrysanthemums
Chrysanthemums must be grown in places protected from the wind, otherwise the bushes will become disheveled and will not look tidy.
Both annual and perennial varieties, because they do not need to be dug up for the winter, just trimmed and covered. Chrysanthemums bloom until the first snow.
Asters
Annual asters in special care dont need. But for abundant flowering they need loose, fertile soil. It is very useful to add sand and humus to plant them.
It is better to do this before winter, so that the organic matter has time to decompose and does not cause fusarium disease in the future.
You can plant asters in one place for 6 years in a row, and after that - 4 years where calendula or tagetis grew before.
Mattiola (Levkoy)
Blooming matthiola fills the garden with the intoxicating honey aroma of the passing summer. It grows on any soil except acidic soils (it’s not difficult even without a device), so you can’t add fresh manure to it; it’s better to feed the beauty with ash and mineral fertilizers.
It is better to plant matthiola where it has not grown before cruciferous plants, with whom she has common diseases.
Helichrysum (Immortelle)
You probably won’t regret it if you select an elevated sunny place in the flowerbed for this plant; it will fit perfectly into the design alpine slides. In order for the plant to bush better, you need to pinch its central shoot above the 5th leaf and remove wilted inflorescences.
And to make the hylechrysum happy even in winter, you can dry it by hanging it upside down under a canopy, and then put it in a vase.
So if you love these autumn plants and flowers and make friends with them, then the gray, dull autumn will not touch your front garden, which is blazing like a fire with yellow, orange and red autumn flowers.

Our flower growers equally love peony and anemoid dahlias, needle-shaped and collared, spherical and nymphal. 
Natives of distant Mexico and Guatemala, dahlias have remained lovers of heat, and the slightest frost is destructive for them. In the meantime, while the September sun is warming, the wonderful heads of dahlias delight summer residents, decorating every corner of the garden.

Tall helenium bushes resemble the shape of a large compact bouquet and invariably become an autumn decoration for any summer cottage. 
One of the legends says that bright sunny flower Helenium is named after the beautiful wife of Menelaus Helen, whose abduction by her lover Paris caused the Trojan War. They say that the unusual vibrant color of helenium resembles the gold of Elena’s hair... anything is possible, although the assumption that the flower is called “a drop of the Sun” is also no worse. 
Our summer residents most often use hybrid forms with inflorescences different shades- pure yellow, red-orange and terracotta. Varieties with double flowers are also favorite.
Helenium will accompany us until the frosts, collecting bees from all over the area and attracting glances with its joyful sunny blooms.

Many people still have warm memories of her as a flower of childhood. 
Today, other species are more often found on sites - shiny rudbeckia (Rudbeckia fulgida) and glossy rudbeckia (Rudbeckia nitida). Now other names are in use - “Golden Umbrella”, “Golden Tower”... But look how interesting: everywhere it is golden)

Anemone
These cute touching flowers remind spring primroses. Delicate and light, they captivate with their defenselessness on the eve of winter, and the more striking is the contrast between the warm purity of the petals and the cold signs of nature's withering.
The name “anemone” (anemone) is of Greek origin; its philosophical interpretation means something like this: “Gusts of wind that open a flower will eventually also carry away the withered petals.” But, despite their visual fragility and inevitable cold, anemones show amazing resilience and are very unpretentious in care.
Autumn anemones entering September bloom include Japanese anemone (Anemone japonica), tomentosa anemone (Anemone tomentosa) and grape anemone (Anemone vitifolia). 
In summer cottages, hybrid anemones, Japanese and felt, are most often grown; grape-leaved is less spectacular, so it is rarely cultivated.

Colchicum
Colchicum, or crocus, is still considered one of the most mysterious plants of our nature. Its development cycle and chemical composition unusual and arouse genuine interest. This flower was called Colchicum because, contrary to its “bulbous” nature, it begins to bloom not “when it’s supposed to,” but without any regard for time - almost before the first snow. But purely humanly one can understand him: here she is, autumn nature, many colors have already faded, the grass is fading, the leaves are drying up - and here I am, fresh, tender and luxurious like spring! 
Indeed, colchicum makes a charming impression during flowering. Its main advantages are the unexpectedness of the “spring” color among the yellow shades of autumn and its unpretentiousness in flowering. Such advantages make colchicum a welcome guest in autumn flower arrangements.

This autumn beauty is a classic of the genre in any autumn flower bed. Huge variety of shapes and colors for autumn period- just a gift from nature! The one who planted asters on his plot, one might say, “rented” the summer for another two months. And throughout September they will definitely be ablaze with all the shades of the just-gone summer: white and pink, red and purple, crimson and blue! 
Asters can be planted anywhere: in the middle of a flower bed or at the end of a vegetable bed, along a path or hedge - this wonderful flower It will look beautiful everywhere.
By the way, it will surprise some, but the flower that we are used to calling the garden aster does not belong to the genus Astra, but to the genus Callistephus (although many gardeners, out of habit, call Callistephus annual aster). 
The most famous perennial asters that bloom in the fall are New Belgian (Virginian) and New England (American). We have these luxurious bushes with pink, purple and purple flowers often called Septembers or Octobers. 
Small-flowered asters are easy to care for, they do not need a garter to a support and are not afraid of even night frosts. You can learn more about asters by reading the materials on our website:

In addition to the scientific Crocosmium, there is an outdated, but still used Montbrezia, a lesser known one - Tritonia and a fourth, popular one - Japanese gladiolus. And this mysterious plant, belonging to the iris family, also looks like an iris) 
Crocosmia is a very decorative and exquisite plant. It decorates the September garden with lush thickets of linear leaves and bright orange, intense red or yellow flowers. Once dry, the flowers begin to smell like saffron, hence the scientific name (from the Greek “krokos” - “crocus, saffron” and “osme” - “smell”). 
Crocosmia - not yet infrequent visitor in our summer cottages, but will definitely win the hearts of gardeners with its beauty and unpretentiousness. Moreover, dug up in the fall before frost and transplanted into a flowerpot, this orange beauty can continue to bloom on the balcony in a city apartment for another month!

Autumn flowers decorate areas, prolong the feeling of summer, create a great mood, and delight hosts and guests. Their flowering is touching and amazing. The approaching cold, rain and first frosts do not frighten autumn flowering. They support them, reveal colors from a new side.
The main criterion for choosing flower crops is the variety of colors. Homeowners want their garden to be a rainbow of colors. Moreover, I want to admire her not just for one month, but from the first sunny days to light snowflakes. Selection criteria shared by experienced gardeners:
- Ease of care. Most of the sites are located in suburban area. Summer residents come to visit them on weekends. Plants that require daily care may die. Varieties have special watering requirements; they must withstand drought, rain and hot sun.
- Disease resistance. Those species are selected that are not susceptible to most diseases. Pests are also being studied.
- Connection of perennial and annual plants in the area. Each variety has its own advantages, which should be used.
- Stem location and plant height. Low bushes require a place that will be easily visible. High ones must be maintained, that is, placed near walls and fences. The stems can curl and stretch across the surface. They also require a special place on the site.

6.Asters (Aster)
Asters (Aster) come in different varieties, including those with different flowering periods. Since we are interested in September, we will talk about a. bush (Aster dumosus), New England aster (Aster novae-angliael and New Belgian asters (Aster novi-belgii). It is not for nothing that they are called “Septembers” in our gardens. The first species grows quickly. New England aster bushes grow slowly. But New Belgian asters are larger than the others susceptible to powdery mildew, and the bush of many varieties is falling apart.
7. Rudbekia.
Its bright, sunny inflorescences will illuminate any country cottage area even in cloudy weather. This plant is one of the symbols of the autumn garden. Surely you too will have a flowerbed with “golden balls” - dissected rudbeckia. This species can be found in dachas more often than others. Another resident of the gardens - beautiful rudbeckia - looks more like “daisies”. Its yellow, orange and reddish inflorescences are decorated with a dark brown core, thanks to which in English-speaking countries the flower is nicknamed “black-eyed Susan”.
8. Korean chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum koreanum)
Korean chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum koreanum) is where a gardener can devote his soul. There are both border varieties that do not exceed 30 cm, as well as medium-growing (50-60 cm) and tall-growing (up to 1 m). Flowers can be different shapes and with a different number of petals (doubleness). Their size is also individual. Well, what can we say about coloring: you have almost the entire palette at your disposal. For beautiful flowering, which usually occurs at the end of August - beginning of September, chrysanthemums need a well-lit place protected from the wind. You need to be careful with fertilizers, because if there is an excess of them, the plant develops green mass, forgetting about flowering.
9. Hylotelephium spectabilel
Sedum spectabilel (Hylotelephium spectabilel) is the true king of late autumn, as it blooms from September until frost. The most common varieties are in different shades of pink; sedums with white and cream flowers are also found. There are varieties with white-edged leaves, for example "Elsie's Gold". The plant is winter-hardy and does not require shelter. Prefers fertile soils and sunny places. Sedum can tolerate even a slight drought, but for the harmonious development of the ground part and more spectacular flowering it needs good watering.

What about the rest of the flowers?
Colchicum can also decorate your autumn garden. Its flowers appear just in September. It is worth paying attention to annual plants. An indispensable decoration of the autumn garden is annual aster (callistephus). Remember the children walking on September 1st with bouquets of these bright flowers. Stands up to the last and looks good decorative cabbage. Its lacy heads are better than any flowers. And she will last until the very frost, going under the snow like a true beauty.
Drowning in flowers in autumn
In summer flowering plants replace each other from week to week, never ceasing to amaze with the variety of shapes and colors of inflorescences. But with the arrival of autumn days, our flower beds often become boring. To make the composition look spectacular even in autumn, it is enough to use a traditional set of perennials for this time of year - heleniums, echinaceas, rudbeckias; add to them dahlias and annual crops, for example three-month-old lavatera, they will extend the flowering period in the mixborder until the first frost.
Plants with textured foliage will look appropriate among the color spots. For example, in the flower garden shown in the photo, the plantings are delicately seasoned with large wrinkled chard leaves, and the soaring foliage of cereals gives vertical volume to the flower garden.
An even greater effect can be achieved by dividing the mixborder with a path, in our case a grass path. This is a great technique, almost a win-win: while walking through the garden, it’s so nice to suddenly find yourself among blooming herbs, with a marvelous flower garden spread out on both sides of you. And even though some tall plants will not be planted according to the rules, right next to the path, like echinacea and dahlias, there will be a sea of emotions from such accompaniment to you
guaranteed: you'll feel like you're drowning in flowers!
The fading phloxes are being replaced by Echinops and agasta-he, and delphiniums, poppies and cornflowers are blooming again. A modest geranium nestles at the edge of the path next to sage and Nepalese cinquefoil. But the undeniable highlight of the flower garden are the dahlias, playfully displaying a variety of varieties - from bright red, crimson and burgundy with white specks in the background to yellow and coral in the foreground.
Soon the Jerusalem artichoke will bloom, the cereals will take on a golden color, and the autumn anemones will stand out more noticeably.
In order for a composition divided by a track to look like a single whole, it is important to observe several simple rules. Firstly, in both parts of the flower garden there should be repeating plants or combinations thereof. This is especially true for accent plants. Secondly, work hard on the background for the composition. Thirdly, when creating such a mixborder, it is very important to choose a plant that will set the tone and mood of the composition in a certain season. It can be long-term decorative or, on the contrary, short, then select neighbors for it who will transfer the emphasis to themselves when the prima retires.
