Create an autumn color show in your garden with perennials that come into their own late in the season. Asters<\/a>, Ornamental Grasses<\/a>, Rudbeckias<\/a>, Russian Sage<\/a>, and Echinaceas<\/a> are among the plants that put on a brilliant display in the fall.<\/p>\n

1. Aster x frikartii ‘Monch’<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"Aster<\/a><\/p>\n

Its graceful 2-3\u2032 stems bear masses of 2\u00bd\u2033 flowers all summer, in an extraordinary shade of lavender blue. An outstanding middle of the border plant with Achillea<\/a>, Alchemilla<\/a>, Alstroemeria, Antirrhinum, and Astrantia.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Calamagrostis ‘Karl Foerster’<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"Ornamental<\/a><\/p>\n

Also knows as Feather Reed Grass, Calamagrostis ‘Karl Foerster’ is one of our favorites because of its upright habit and good manners. It forms neat clumps of foliage 18\u201324\u2033 tall. In June, the toasty brown, feathery flower spikes rise up to 5\u2032 or more. By August they are narrow shafts of a buff color. Consider summer and fall-blooming perennials as companions: Achillea<\/a>, Rudbeckia<\/a>, Helenium<\/a>, Asters<\/a>, Monarda<\/a>, Perovskia<\/a>, Phlox<\/a>, and Oriental Lilies<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Rudbeckia fulgida sullivantii ‘Goldsturm’<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"Rudbeckia<\/a><\/p>\n

The Black-eyed Susan, is a glorious and traditional highlight of summer. While the native plant is enchanting, ‘Goldsturm’ improves upon an already good thing by providing more and bigger flowers in a consistent bright golden yellow on upright plants that reach 40\u2033. Plant with Salvia<\/a>, Phlox<\/a>, Asters<\/a>, or Perovskia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Perovskia atriplicifolia ‘Blue Jean Baby’<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"Perovskia<\/a><\/p>\n

Topping out at 30-36″, this hardy, compact Russian Sage is a great choice for anyone whose garden is too small for the original Perovskia atriplicifolia<\/a> which can grow to 3-4′ tall. Stems of silver-green foliage with small purple flowers erupt in a lilac haze in midsummer and the color lasts until fall. Companions include: Hydrangea<\/a>, Salvia<\/a>, Phlox<\/a>, & Echinacea<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. Echinacea purpurea ‘Magnus’<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"Echinacea<\/a><\/p>\n

We find real value in this popular variety. The petals are an especially vibrant carmine-rose shade and are held almost horizontally, making a more open face than the shuttlecock shape of the species. Lovely with the blue wands of Perovskia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Need a shrub or two to complete your late season garden? Hydrangeas<\/a>\u00a0are at their best in summer and fall\u2014a quiet time for most woody plants\u2014and are worth having for that reason alone. You’ll find the full range of Hydrangeas we offer here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
