Why Fall Annuals?

Fall is a time of transformation in your garden. While perennials and shrubs offer year-round structure, annuals allow you to embrace the unique colors and textures of fall. They bring life and energy to your garden beds, pots, and containers, making the transition from summer to winter a delightful experience.

The Must-Have Fall Annuals

Chrysanthemums (Mums): Our star performers for the fall season, chrysanthemums, commonly known as mums, are the epitome of autumn beauty. These hardy perennials are known for their late-season blooms, adding vibrant splashes of color in shades of red, orange, yellow, and even purple. At LittleTree Garden Market, you'll find a stunning variety of mum cultivars, from the classic daisy-like blooms to the decorative pompons. These fall favorites are perfect for both garden beds and containers.
Pansies and Violas: Fall is the time to introduce cool-season annuals like pansies and violas to your garden. These charming flowers come in a spectrum of colors and are known for their tolerance to cooler temperatures. Their cheerful, "face-like" blooms are sure to brighten up your garden even as the days grow shorter.
Ornamental Kale and Cabbage: For an unexpected twist in your fall garden, consider ornamental kale and cabbage. These leafy greens boast unique foliage in shades of pink, purple, and white, adding both texture and color to your landscape. Their striking appearance adds a touch of elegance to any fall display.
Asters: Asters are a true fall classic. With their daisy-like flowers in shades of purple, pink, and blue, they provide a late-season nectar source for pollinators and create a captivating backdrop in your garden.

Creating a Fall Oasis

Fall annuals aren't just about planting flowers; they're about creating a cozy oasis in your outdoor space. Here are some ideas for incorporating fall annuals into your garden:

Fall Containers: Decorate your porch, patio, or balcony with fall-themed containers filled with mums, pansies, ornamental kale, and cabbage. Use pumpkins and gourds as accents for a festive touch.
Garden Borders: Enhance your garden borders with a mix of fall annuals like asters, mums, and pansies. Create layers of colors and textures that will shine as the leaves fall.
Hanging Baskets: Hang baskets of trailing pansies or ornamental kale for a unique and eye-catching display.
Fall Wreaths: Get creative and craft your own fall wreaths using materials like dried hydrangea blooms, colorful foliage, and ornamental grasses.

Fall Gardening Tips

Water: Keep your fall annuals well-watered, as the soil tends to dry out less quickly in cooler weather.
Deadheading: Remove spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering.
Mulch: Apply mulch to help regulate soil temperature and conserve moisture.
Fertilization: Give your fall annuals a boost with a balanced fertilizer to support their growth.
Pest Control: Keep an eye out for fall pests and take appropriate measures to protect your plants.
