Aster

Although the spring and summer months are the protagonists of our garden, there is also much to enjoy in autumn so do not be discouraged when it is cold and take care of your plants because you can find very valuable specimens that adapt to colder climates.

If you’re autumn plants there are a variety of options that will enrich your green space or that balcony that faces the street and that you take care of with great care. Fall is no excuse to let yourself be so, start thinking about those plants you can grow, visit the nurseries, buy the seeds and have everything ready for when the perfect moment arrives.

Cold weather flowers

If you are looking for ornamental style plants, you can choose a bulbous perennial called Crocuswhich is common to see on the edges of the gardens although you can also grow it in pots. Its flowers are strong purple and yellow, a perfect combination that is displayed on sunny autumn days.

There is also the Astera plant similar to the famous daisy whose most frequent flowers are those with very thin white petals and a yellow center. But the truth is that there are more than 200 varieties of Aster so you can choose the one you like the most since flowering occurs in early fall. What does this plant need? Being exposed to the sun and a lot of watering.

Ixia is another option, a plant with full sun that needs abundant watering. It is a somewhat exotic plant, the most popular version is the Ixia viridifolia, whose petals are of a soft green color.

Fall bushes

It is not the first time that we talk about Fire thorn but the truth is that this shrub shines in autumn, when its fruits acquire fabulous reddish, yellow and orange tones. Showy like few others, it also competes with other autumn shrubs such as the honeysuckle, strawberry tree, holly, St. John’s wort or elderberry. Many of these species stand out for their range of shades that in this season of the year achieve all their splendor.
