Best Plants and Flowers for Your Fall Garden

Learn how to create a beautiful and thriving garden with plants and flowers that will keep growing all season long. Some of our top suggestions are chrysanthemums, fall bulbs, shrubs, and trees.

Chrysanthemums

Potted or planted, chrysanthemums look gorgeous in the fall. These vibrant annuals are available in a range of colours, from delicate white to bright orange.

Ideal planting time: Early to mid-September

Fall Bulbs

Fall is a wonderful time to get ready for your spring garden with bulbs like daffodils, hyacinth, and tulips. Get a head start by planting these bulbs in September or October, when the soil is nice and cool.

Ideal planting time: Late September to early October

Pro Tip

Just dig a hole about two to three times the height of the bulb and add a protective layer of mulch on top to help them survive the winter frost.

Shrubs and Trees

Fall is also a great time to upgrade your landscape with shrubs and trees. The cool air and warm soil help to stimulate root growth, making for the perfect planting climate. The roots will also have enough time to grow until winter hits to survive the freezing temperatures.

Ideal planting time: Mid-September to mid-October

Pro Tip

Use rich and nutritious soil to ensure the shrubs and trees grow healthy and strong.
