Spring and summer aren’t the only seasons with pretty flowers! Though the leaves are changing color and the temperatures are perfect for that sweater weather, autumn brings its own set of incredible, vibrant blossoms to brighten up your world.

This season, fill your garden and home with perennial favorites that are not just blooming all the time, but perfect for fresh bouquets, late-season color and interior décor. Just because we’re heading into the colder months, doesn’t mean we can’t keep the colors coming.

From jewel tones to deep purples and rusts, fall flowers can be hardy for your garden as perennials are absolutely perfect for fall. Not only can they spruce up what has been dried out and sun faded by the long summers, but they come back stronger every year.

If you’re looking to spice up your garden this year, consider adding a funky bunch of scented and vibrant florals to your mix. Although the season is brief, these fall flowers are among the more creative ones.
