Despite shorter days and cooler temperatures as summer transitions to fall, many popular perennials will continue to put on vibrant displays in garden borders. While those long, hazy July days are a thing of the past, and winter is very much on the way, fall-blooming perennials will inject some late-season color into your yard.
From September and October, many annuals and summer-flowering perennials will begin to droop and fade, so it is a good idea to incorporate one, two or seven of these fall-flowering perennials to extend the gardening season. Think pink and purple asters, golden-yellow black-eyed Susans, red canna lilies or white persicaria blooms - whatever your preference, many perennials will keep flowering until the first frost.
