Fall Splendor in My Yard

It seems as soon as temperatures cool, my long-flowering shrubs and perennials are eager to put on one last show of color. Here are some examples of plants that keep blooming and blooming and blooming . . .


 .

Rose of Sharon shrubs (back left, shrub roses (back right and forward left), purple asters

A beautiful garden wall my husband built accented by Red Velvet yarrow and coreopsis

More purple asters, roses (pink), Jupiter's beard, and pentstemon (red spikes)




This is not a perennial but one of my favorite annuals to grow from seed. Mexican sunflower is easy to grow, makes a wonderful cut flower, and grows to be 5 feet tall.
