Fall Perennial Flowers and Grasses for a Colorful Season
Transform your summer yard into an autumn paradise with the most beautiful fall-blooming plants!
Chrysanthemums—The stars of the season
With their spectacular blooms, chrysanthemums are a fall must-have in Quebec. Available in a myriad of vibrant colors, they are perfectly in tune with the season. Whereas certain varieties, such as florist mums, are treated as annuals in our climate, others withstand the cold. Hybrid types, often known as garden mums, prove remarkably hardy and will grace your flower beds with blooms year after year—like the Morden, Minn, Firecracker and Mammoth series.
Fall perennials for colorful flowers and foliage
A wide variety of perennials can grace your flower beds and planters throughout the fall. Among these, autumn-blooming anemones marvel with their delicate petals and vibrant yellow hearts. Asters, with their small, star-shaped flowers, are available in a host of hues to brighten up garden beds. Echinacea, with gorgeous, bright-colored flowers, add a touch of fall beauty to any landscaping. Other autumn wonders include chelone, helenium, cimicifuga simplex, eupatorium, vernonia, perennial sunflowers, aconites, heuchera and bergenia.

Care for your lawn—apply a fall lawn fertilizer
A healthy lawn will enhance your entire landscaping, so it’s important to take good care of it. Fertilize it twice during the fall, once between mid-August and mid-September to repair summer damage and once toward the end of October to protect it from the cold. The fertilizer from the second application will be absorbed by the roots, which remain active even if the visible part of the grass is no longer growing. The best fall fertilizer is one rich in potassium because this element increases the lawn’s overall resistance to cold, disease and insects. Additionally, the nitrogen present in the fertilizer will be stored in the roots and promote rapid growth in the spring.
