While high summer tends to be the time when our garden borders reach their colorful climax, many popular perennials can keep the show going long into the fall months. Think golden-yellow blooms of black-eyed Susan and the lilac-purple petals of classic aster varieties. Even as the light draws in and the days get shorter, late-season color can still be found.
Some of the best fall-blooming native plants will do just this, extending the gardening season right through until November or even December in some regions. Native perennials thrive at this time of year, and while they might lose a tiny bit of their vigor as cold and wet weather sets in, embracing these plants is sure to enhance your garden aesthetic.
