Autumn Flowering Plants

Most gardens peak in summer and then fall quiet, which is exactly why autumn flowers are so valuable. Blooming into September, October and beyond, they stretch the season by weeks and give late bees a crucial last feed before winter. The lower, softer autumn light suits warm colours especially well.

The plants here flower into the back end of the year, and many combine late blooms with good autumn foliage for a double display. Most prefer a sunny spot and tie in beautifully with ornamental grasses, which come into their own at the same time. Plant now to fill the gap that so many borders leave.

All grown for UK gardens and sent out well rooted.
