Types of Fall Flowers In addition to looking at bloom time, choose flowers that have different shapes, color, and sizes to add lots of texture and dimension.

[{"selector":"#anim-1a6060f9-e8b1-47e8-b473-ddc6e1b65023 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(9.909909909909908%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Plant in Groupings Depending on the size of your garden and plant varieties, plant in odd numbers. Plant more of the same perennials in larger groupings to achieve a greater visual impact instead of a bunch of different plants.

Foliage Color Look at plant foliage color, texture, and dimension. Don’t underestimate the power of foliage color both in fall and throughout the gardening season. Even if a plant does not bloom, the foliage can have a huge visual impact on the garden.

Plan Ahead When Planting for Fall Garden Choose plants with colors and textures that will look amazing in both spring and autumn, you’ll save yourself a lot of time and money when you start planting the fall garden.
