Autumn perennials, grasses and flowering plants bring a special atmosphere to the garden in the last months of the year. It is worth planting hardy perennials once so that you don't have to start all over again with large planting campaigns every year.
Cyclamen are hardy
Perennial tips and late flowering plants
While the flowering plants literally explode in spring and summer and shower the garden with a blaze of colour, autumn is a little more subtle. Here, too, there are eye-catching flowering plants, such as colorful aster bushes, but beautiful foliage plants, such as two-tone hostas, or colored grasses also come into their own.
The autumn bed design sticks to warm colors and soft shapes, which can be loosened up from time to time by eye-catching colors or unusual shapes. The design also includes natural conditions, such as the fading light or morning hoarfrost. Grasses in particular, covered with frost, create a fantastic picture.
Examples of hardy perennials and flowers
From the abundance of hardy plants, the possible diversity in garden design is to be shown using a few plant examples. Among others, the following perennials and flowers are popular:
- love pearl bush
- cyclamen
- sedum
- autumn crocus
- autumn anemone
The love pearl bush
Planted in a sunny to partially shaded spot, it flowers from June to July with small white-pink flowers. It only becomes a special ornament in the garden in autumn with its purple fruit pearls. They stay on the bush throughout the winter.
The cyclamen
The hardy garden variant loves bright locations and temperatures around 12 degrees. It blooms in white to purple through winter. As soon as the first frosts set in, it needs loose winter protection in the form of brushwood or fir green.
The sedum
She loves a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Already in early spring, their buds push themselves out of the earth in the arched clumps. It grows to a majestic size throughout summer and sets off plate-shaped flowers that bloom to a muted dusky pink in fall.
The Autumn Crocus
When most of the flowers have faded, the autumn crocus shows off its blossoms. Like the crocuses in spring, she pushes her delicate and filigree blossom out of the meadow. It is beautiful to look at, but the flowers and leaves are highly toxic.
The autumn anemone
Its delicate flowers love the sun but need some time to establish themselves in the garden. Once they have found their right place, they multiply by offshoots.
